Household recycling centre fees for non-Buckinghamshire residents

We only have a duty to provide local residents with access to household recycling centres.

Residents who live outside of Buckinghamshire should use recycling centres that are provided by their own local council. However, if it is more convenient, residents who live outside of Buckinghamshire can visit our recycling centres but must pay an access fee.

We have an agreement with Slough Borough Council which allows their residents to use Buckinghamshire sites without paying this access fee.

The fee is charged on each visit and is calculated on the type of waste and size of vehicle. All prices are inclusive of VAT. Fees for disposing of DIY waste are charged in addition to fees below.

You can pay by credit card, debit card or pre-payment card. Cash is not accepted.
