Households across the Vale are only permitted one green-lidded rubbish bin, unless they have special permission from the council, as this cuts down on unnecessary waste and encourages recycling.

The extra waste from these 1,000+ bins contain a combined total of three vehicles worth of recycling.

By removing these bins, otherwise squandered waste can be recycled and given a new lease of life. This will have a positive effect on the environment and save AVDC a considerable amount in collection costs.

Amy Bridgford, Operations and Projects Manager said, “Across the Vale up to 75% of household waste can be recycled in either the blue-lidded recycling bin or the green food recycling caddy. As so much can be recycled, there is no need to have a larger or additional green-lidded rubbish bin, unless you have a large family or have clinical waste.

"It only takes small, simple measures to make the most of your recycling bins. For help on what to recycle take a look on our website at www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/recycling”.
