Recycling centres
All residents can visit the 10 household recycling centres managed by Buckinghamshire Council across the county to dispose of waste.

Street cleaning
Buckinghamshire Council works hard to keep the streets clean.
Litter picking, emptying of litter bins, clearing of illegally dumped waste are all part of keeping our lovely county clean.
Waste disposal
It is Buckinghamshire Council's duty to manage all the waste produced by households from the moment of collection until it has been recycled, composted or disposed of safely.
Waste prevention
It's important that we all try to reduce how much waste we produce. Buckinghamshire Council works with local community groups, commercial partners, schools and more to help people make changes to their behaviour that reduce waste.
