What you need to know about Oakwood

Oakwood

Oakwood, located just inside the western border of the London Borough of Enfield, is an affluent suburb of north London. Oakwood Park, for which the locality was named, is still regarded by many as its main highlight and known for its grove of poplar trees and the line of scarlet oaks that were planted by Oakwood’s previous mayors. Commercial establishments in the area remain centred around its London Underground station. Its most conveniently accessible transport links outside of Oakwood are Cockfosters and Southgate, Grange Park and Winchmore Hill railway stations.

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in Oakwood?

Waste disposal options in Oakwood comprise both the borough council’s public services and the alternatives offered by private contractors. Waste removal remains the most popular method of keeping bins clear among both households and businesses, with professional rubbish and recycling removal services, such as bin collection and home or office clearance, being available alongside the usual regularly scheduled collections. Due to its location, however, Oakwood also finds itself within convenient proximity of numerous licenced rubbish dumps, including two facilities for construction to the southwest, along Oakleigh Road South (A109,) and the cluster of recycling centres along Meridian Way (A1055), just north of the Meridian Water railway station.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Oakwood

Enfield Council’s primary reuse and recycling centre (RRC), which is located on Barrowell Green, is the nearest such facility for addresses in Oakwood. But while the council tip does keep longer hours (10 AM to 6 PM, Mondays through Sundays) than most other civic amenity sites in the region, it is also somewhat limited in the types of waste it is able to accept. For the most part, only waste that would normally go into a household’s general rubbish, garden waste, or recycling bin can be brought to the site, with the notable addition of small electrical items, such as toasters, hairdryers, and DVD players. Moreover, the recycling centre can only accommodate pedestrians, cyclists, and regular vehicles, so van-sized loads of refuse and/or recycling will need to be taken to one of the other facilities in the region.
