Garden waste collections

Garden waste collections are suspended during the winter months and will restart in Aylesbury Vale from the week commencing Monday January 24 2022.

Household recycling centres

Household recycling centres in Bucks will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

On all other days over the Christmas period, including bank holidays, the sites will keep to their usual opening days and hours.

Recycling over the Christmas period

Over the festive season, we produce around 30 per cent more waste so Bucks Council is encouraging people to reduce, reuse and recycle.

You can find out what can and cannot be recycled by visiting its Waste Wizard or check out the Buckinghamshire Recycles website for tips to reduce waste over the Christmas period.

Disposing of your Christmas tree

You can dispose of your natural Christmas tree, wreaths, holly and mistletoe at your nearest Household Recycling Centre, or by cutting it up and putting in your brown bin, if you subscribe to the garden waste collection service.
