From Monday 13 December, Buckinghamshire Council’s separate food waste collections has restarted, and households can put out their food waste in its separate brown bin on their usual collection day.
A shortage of HGV drivers, coupled with Covid-related sickness amongst crews, meant the service was temporarily suspended in August, with food waste instead being collected as general rubbish.
Cllr Peter Strachan, Cabinet Member for Climate Change and the Environment, said:
“Thank you to residents in the Chiltern and Wycombe areas for your patience while we dealt with the impact of the nationwide shortage of HGV drivers. It was clear during this time that many households were as keen as the council to see the return of the separate food waste collections as soon as possible. Your cooperation with these interim arrangements, whilst not ideal, has been appreciated. I welcome the efforts taken by all involved which have enabled us to return to separate food waste collections."
