Household Waste Collection Policy for Southern Buckinghamshire

The council offers a collection of healthcare waste and sharps and needles from householders upon applications endorsed by a health care professional. This application must be made through the councils’ prescribed application form.

An agreed collection point, day of collection, frequency of collection, size and type of container and any other specific instructions regarding this service will be decided by the council. In cases where a regular weekly service is not needed, a request based service will be set up. Requests for service must be made a week in advance. All requests for sharps collections will be a request based service.

The council may request residents to obtain sharps boxes from their health care professional.
