The weather is exceptionally hot. View guidance on conserving water and staying safe in hot weather and what to do if you see someone sleeping on the streets on Severe Weather Emergency Provision (SWEP).

Due to the hot weather, we'll start collecting bins from 6am on Monday 30 June and Tuesday 1 July. If your bin is due for collection, make sure you put your bins out the night before or no later than 6am on the day of collection.

Donate for reuse

You can help to reduce waste and support a local charity by donating for reuse.

Items for reuse can be donated at all 10 household recycling centres.

Items are collected from the household recycling centres to be sold at the 2 reuse shops, run by South Bucks Hospice at Aston Clinton and High Wycombe Household Recycling Centre.

The top ten items the reuse shops are always looking for are:

Branded hoovers (Henry, Shark and Dyson)
Flat screen televisions and laptops
Power tools
Bikes (all sizes, past their best or even parts of bikes)
Furniture - such as chest of drawers, desks, mirrors. These need to be assembled
Outdoor furniture - chairs, tables
Garden items - barbeques, garden tools, plant pots, ornaments
Children's toys - action figures, board games, ride-ons, dolls houses (all toys need the CE safety label)
Antiques - train sets, memorabilia, chests/trunks
Musical instruments
