Advice on household waste

Recycling rates across Buckinghamshire remain high so this is great news, and thank you for continuing to dispose of your household waste responsibly. I know it’s frustrating that we’ve had to suspend garden waste services for the time being but please bear with us – we are trying to get this service back up again as soon as we can.

I know too that just by being at home a lot more, households are producing more general waste, or you might have chosen to use this time to have a good clear out. Can I please encourage you that while our Household Recycling Centres are closed, please do not be tempted to make use of services like ‘a man and a van’ who offer to take your waste away for you without checking first if they’re legitimate.

If you want to pay a private contractor to take your waste away, follow the SCRAP code to make sure your waste doesn’t end up being illegally dumped:

  • Suspect all waste traders
  • Check they are a registered waste carrier
  • Refuse unexpected offers to take away your waste
  • Ask what will happen to your rubbish
  • Paperwork must be given

The best thing to do for now is to store any excess general waste you might have that won’t fit into your kerbside collection.
