Residents reminded of upcoming suspension for garden waste subscriptions
Buckinghamshire Council is reminding subscribers to its garden waste service that collections will soon be suspended for the usual 6-week winter period. This annual suspension takes place during the winter when garden waste is at a minimum.
Garden waste collections are suspended between Monday 15 December 2025 and Friday 23 January 2026, with the service resuming from Monday 26 January 2026 on usual collection days.
Ade Osibogun, Buckinghamshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment, said:
“Our garden waste suspension dates are set out to match the period when garden waste is typically at its lowest. During the suspension period, we carry out other tasks including staff training and redirect crews to allow for the increased amount of general waste and recycling over the Christmas holidays.
“Residents who need to dispose of garden waste during the suspension period can still do so at a Household Recycling Centre free of charge.”

Garden waste collected from homes across Buckinghamshire or taken to Household Recycling Centres is processed locally into high-quality compost. Residents can buy Community Compost at all Household Recycling Centres. Proceeds from the sales support good causes in Buckinghamshire.
