Household Waste Collection Policy for Southern Buckinghamshire

Policy 9 - Collection day and time

Containers must be available at the collection point (as per policy 11) by 6:30am on the day of collection. Collections times can vary from week to week and any container which is not out for collection at 6:30am will not be emptied. If the containers are not presented for collection, then the crew will not return until the next scheduled collection day.

On traffic sensitive priority routes, collections may start at 6:30am. This is to allow collections to take place with minimal disruption to traffic flow. If you live on one of these routes and we require you to place your containers out before 6:30am, we will inform you in writing.

Containers must not be placed out for collection before 5pm the day before collection. The Council has the right to remove any bins left on the highway outside of the hours specified in policy 10. Residents will be charged for new containers should this be the case.

Details of collection days can be found online on our website.
