Use My Wycombe to look up your collection schedule, or contact us with your address to find out the dates and frequency of your household waste collection service.

What do I need to do on bin collection day?

  • Put your bin out by 7am on the advised collection day
  • Place all waste in the bin with the lid closed flat
  • Position your bin to be clearly visible without causing any obstruction
  • If we miss your bin, please report it to us by 4pm on collection day and we will come back the next working day to collect it

Where does the waste go?

Household waste from grey bins goes to landfill sites. As we produce more rubbish, space in landfill sites begins to run out. It's important that we work together to reduce, re-use and recycle as much as possible rather than throw it in our grey bins.
