Collections due to take place on Thursday 2 June (Spring Bank Holiday) will move to Saturday 4 June.

All collections the week commencing Monday 6 June will take place one day later than usual for this week only. Collections will return to normal from Monday 13 June. Please check the revised timetable and present any bins or containers by 6.30am on the revised collection day.If your re-arranged collection day falls on the day your road is closed over Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend, please leave your bin out for collection and we will do our best to collect it early or return on Monday 6 June for collection.

A friendly reminder that Buckinghamshire’s nine household recycling centres are open as usual. All sites will remain open for their usual operating hours over the Bank Holiday weekend. Check online before you visit to confirm opening hours and avoid the queues. Visit our website for all the latest Household Recycling Centre information.

With lots of community street parties and Big Jubilee Lunches planned to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, please also remember to reduce, reuse and recycle. Consider choosing sustainable and/or environmentally-friendly party tableware (including reusable straws and paper table cloths), don’t let any leftover lunch go to waste and remember to recycle any celebratory cans of pop and bottles of bubbly. Find out more about how to keep your celebrations as eco-friendly as possible on our website: Jubilee | Buckinghamshire Recycles (recycleforbuckinghamshire.co.uk)
