Buckinghamshire Council's nine household recycling centres switch to winter opening hours on Friday 1 October. The new opening hours will be 9am to 4pm.
The household recycling centres will open the same days as normal, it’s only the opening hours that are changing due to the number of visits to the centres tailing off after 4pm as the evenings get darker.
Peter Strachan, Cabinet Member for Environment & Climate Change, said:
“You don’t need to book a slot to visit the centres, but I recommend that you check our live webcams before setting off: www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/bin-collection-recycling-and-waste/recycle-household-waste”
The household recycling centre are open on the following days:
- Amersham, Aston Clinton, Beaconsfield, Buckingham, High Wycombe and Langley – open every day.
- Aylesbury (Rabans Lane), Burnham and Chesham – open five days a week, closing on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
When visiting a site, please:
- Check the webcams online to see how busy the site is and for the quieter times to visit.
- Bring proof of address. Only residents who pay council tax to Buckinghamshire Council can use the sites. (Slough Borough Council residents are able to use Langley and Burnham sites only.)
- Come back another time if the site is busy. Long queues can cause traffic and block access to homes and businesses.
- If possible, wear a mask or face covering when outside your vehicle.
Further information, including what waste the centres do and don’t accept, can be found on Buckinghamshire Council’s Household recycling centres webpage.
