Aylesbury food waste collections suspended today due to weather

Friday, 18 February 2022 07:00

Due to the impact of Storm Eunice The Council is suspending food collections in Aylesbury. (Friday 16th February)

The suspension will allow the Council to deploy staff elsewhere to keep up to date with recycling collections which are still going ahead, and it will also stop food containers blowing around after collection.

Aylesbury residents should not present their food waste containers for collection.

Crews will not collect food waste on that day even if it is left out for collection.

Chiltern, Wycombe and South Bucks food waste collections remain unchanged, but residents are being asked where possible, not to put food recycling bins or paper and card boxes out for collection this week. Extra recycling can be collected on the next collection.

General advice

To help Buckinghamshire Council crews manage waste collections in the stormy weather:

Think about strong winds when putting your bins and boxes out for collection and take your bins in as soon as they have been emptied.
Don’t put any extra recycling out with your collections this week to avoid it being blown around.
Crews may put bins and boxes back differently to try and avoid them being blow around.
Stormy weather can cause disruption to collection rounds so please be patient if your collection is not at the usual time.
