Redbridge waste recycling centre off Abingdon Road - the "tip" - is the place to take everything that isn't suitable for kerbside rubbish collections, whether unsafe (batteries), not otherwise recycled (Tetrapaks) or simply bulky.
The Redbridge Tip (Waste recycling centre!) is the main place provided for Oxford residents to take their waste if it's not appropriate for it to be collected in the normal collections. For example, the tip takes certain items that should not be put into the kerbside waste collection (eg, batteries) and recycles others (eg Tetrapak containers) that would simply go into landfill if they were collected with the normal waste.
