Household Waste Collection Policy for Southern Buckinghamshire

All collection containers provided remain the property of the council. As such, all collection containers must be left at the property when residents sell or move out of the property,

Collection containers must only be used for the storage and collection of waste and recycling.

Each householder is responsible for keeping the containers safe and in good order and to protect them from misuse. The council will charge for the replacement of any wheeled bin that has been misused.

The cost of the service is reviewed annually and the latest charges can be found on our website.

If developers choose not to purchase containers from the council, the responsibility passes to the resident to organise the delivery of bins. The council will not collect waste or recycling from bins not supplied by the council, or not meeting council requirements (including branding).

If residents or developers purchase their own containers, any damage or wear and tear is at their own risk and the Council will not take responsibility for these costs.
