Update on refuse collection and recycling - 15th Jan

Yesterday (14 January), we were unable to collect refuse and recycling from some households either because it was too late or because of the conditions of some minor and estate roads and pavements - a few of which were blocked by parked cars.



For properties who were due a brown bin collection yesterday but were missed, we are doing a limited collection service today. If we do not get back to you today, we will collect any waste, regardless of type, next week.



Residents in other areas, such as Steeple Claydon, which were missed yesterday because of the icy conditions and some blocked roads by parked cars, are asked to take their bins back onto their property and put them out again on the next scheduled collection date. We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes.



The collection service is still operating on the Christmas and New Year revised schedule. This means that collections this week, are one day behind. Next week the collections will be back to the normal schedule.



AVDC appreciates that for some residents this means that they may have a lot of recycling material awaiting collection. We will collect all excess paper, cans and plastics providing it is placed in a reasonable container or bag which stops the material from spilling out or blowing away. Glass can only be collected if it is in the box provided.



If you would like to dispose of your recycling material before the next due collection date, there are many recycling banks across the district. A list together with other information about recycling can be found at www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk
