Due to the ongoing situation regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus), waste services are currently operating with a reduced number of staff.

RECYCLING (mixed and paper & card): Kerbside recycling collections have been suspended. This is an evolving situation and the ability to reinstate the service is being assessed on a daily basis.

Advice for residents: Store recycling, so that it can be recycled once the service resumes, which will be communicated by the Councils. Present your bin on your usual collection day in preparation for the service to resume. However, if it is not collected because the service is still suspended, do not report a missed collection and bring in your container(s).

If you are not able to store your recycling, it can be disposed of in your black general rubbish bin or bags on your usual collection day. To support crews, residents are asked to contain all their waste within their bin(s) and use the food recycling service. There are no current planned changes to collection frequencies or days.

GARDEN WASTE: The garden waste service has suspended.

Advice for residents: Garden waste materials are not hazardous if left for longer than two weeks and can be home-composted. Store this waste until the service resumes. Due to current social distancing measures, the Household Recycling Centres in Buckinghamshire are closed. Do not visit these sites to dispose of your garden waste.

GENERAL RUBBISH: The general rubbish service continues as business as usual. There are no current planned changes to collection frequencies or days.

Advice for residents: To support our crews, contain all waste within their bin(s) and use the food recycling service.

FOOD WASTE: The food recycling service continues as business as usual. There are no current planned changes to collection frequencies or days.
