Buckinghamshire Council, formed in April 2020 from the merger of Aylesbury Vale, Chiltern, South Bucks and Wycombe, operates a five-stream kerbside collection for around 220,000 households across Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Amersham, Chesham, Marlow, Beaconsfield, Princes Risborough and surrounding areas. Food waste is collected weekly. General waste is collected fortnightly. Recycling, paper and card, and the blue box are all collected fortnightly on the alternate week.

The green food caddy accepts all food scraps weekly — cooked and uncooked meat, dairy, fruit and vegetable peelings, bread and tea bags. The grey bin is for non-recyclable general waste, collected fortnightly. On the alternate fortnightly week three streams are collected together: mixed recycling (plastic bottles, containers, cans, glass and cartons) in the grey recycling bin; paper and cardboard loose in the same bin; and a small blue box for clothing, small batteries and small electrical items such as phones and toasters. Do not bag paper or recycling.
