This annual suspension takes place during the winter when garden waste is at a minimum.
Garden waste collections will stop running between Monday, December 15 and Friday, January 23, with the service resuming from Monday, January 26, on usual collection days.
Ade Osibogun, Buckinghamshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment, said: “Our garden waste suspension dates are set out to match the period when garden waste is typically at its lowest.
“During the suspension period, we carry out other tasks, including staff training and redirecting crews to allow for the increased amount of general waste and recycling over the Christmas holidays.
“Residents who need to dispose of garden waste during the suspension period can still do so at a Household Recycling Centre free of charge.”
To find out which days our Household Recycling Centres are open and further details of what can and cannot be taken to a centre, visit: www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/waste-and-recycling
Garden waste collected from homes across Buckinghamshire or taken to Household Recycling Centres is processed locally into high-quality compost.
Residents can buy Community Compost at all Household Recycling Centres.
Proceeds from the sales support good causes in Buckinghamshire.
