Oooops. Jane Steele spotted an error in this
This is reissued, and now hopefully correct, Jane Steele identified two errors in my original I have fixed both and reattached it below. The correct version shows Revision 2 just below the heading.
There has been a hot debate on Nextdoor.co.uk about Buckinghamshire Council revising the calendar they normally make available for Waste and Recycling every 4-6 months. The format of the new information is very basic, and just a list of dates and requires a closer look to figure out which bins need to go out.
You can find the dates that affect your postal code here, you need to enter your address. It returns the following in my case:
As many people have already pointed out; where is my calendar, like the last one that was issued. I understand this may have been escalated in Bucks Council, so it may get fixed. Most people want a simple calendar they can pin on a noticeboard, and not have to look it up each week.
In response to that I have scanned and edited my last Buckinghamshire Council Waste and Recycling calendar and updated it with the next six months of dates. That might not be useful for everyone, but I think most of Prestwood has waste and recycling picked up on Wednesdays. If there is another day for Prestwood apart from Wednesday please leave a message below, and I will do another version.
I do not claim this as my work, it is an old Buckinghamshire Council calendar which I have scanned and updated the dates in it. Please check it before using it. Dates were correct as of May 9th 2024 but may be subject to change.

Revision 2
Thank you for all of the kind comments, and sorry it had to be reissued. Hopefully everyone will update their copy. – MarkW.
A revised and updated version has now been published on my own website that covers the whole of Buckinghamshire (as far as I am aware). The link to my bin collection website page is https://soroban.co.uk/bcc-waste There are 10 PDF files in all to cover all known possibilities. The direct link to the Prestwood area is https://soroban.co.uk/bcc-waste/BCC-Waste-Wed-A.pdf There is a link on that page to contact me if you have and questions, comments, suggestions.
Nice of you to do this Peter. Unfortunately on 2 consecutive weeks of 30 May and 5 June you have shown as general waste. So from and including 5 June the calendar is incorrect. It continues to be incorrect until you have made the same mistake for 31 July/7 August after which it is back on track.
Well spotted Jane, I have updated it. Welcome to the QC department.
Mark Sorry I misnamed you. I couldn’t edit or post a correcting message. Thanks for the fast update.
Mark your much appreciated calendar has expired. The Council is still only offering the same as before . Are you able to do another one for the coming months for the Prestwood residents? Watch out for the green bin suspension!
Thank you. Won’t have to check BCC website, or to look out for what neighbours are doing, each week!
Thanks so much for this
Well done! A great help.
Thank you. This is incredibly helpful.
