Oxford Recycling Department is the small recycling center on Courthouse Square that folks in Oxford use to keep stuff out of the landfill. Locals drop off household recyclables and the occasional bulky item here; it's the kind of place neighbors recommend when clearing out a garage.

The site looks like a compact municipal lot with large containers for paper, cardboard, and mixed recyclables; expect to pull up, park, and walk items to the appropriate bin. Many Mississippi convenience centers operate with a simple entrance area and a drop-off point rather than a huge processing plant, so bring things already sorted and boxed. Some centers around here have a scale and charge by weight, so it's normal to stop at an entrance booth or scale on the way in and again on the way out. Weekends and spring-cleanup weekends tend to be busiest, so lines can form during those times.

Before You Go

  • Sort cardboard, paper, glass, and cans before arriving to speed the drop-off process and avoid handling at the site.
  • Use sturdy boxes or tied bags so items are easy to carry to the bins - loose bags can split and slow things down.
  • Avoid peak times like weekend mornings if possible; midweek or late afternoons are often quieter.
