Street cleansing

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. Find out more about these services here

Waste disposal

It is Buckinghamshire Councils duty to manage all the waste produced by household from the moment of collection until it has been recycled, composted or disposed of safely. Find out what happens to your waste here

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. This website has more information on how you can do that.

Buckinghamshire has a Waste Strategy that was developed as part of the Buckinghamshire Waste Partnership. You can view the Waste Strategy here.
