Waste and population in Buckinghamshire

Buckinghamshire Council serves a population of around 560,000 people across a large county area that includes towns such as Aylesbury, High Wycombe, and Milton Keynes’ surrounding commuter belt (excluding the separate Milton Keynes authority).

The county generates a very high volume of household waste each year, typically in the region of 220,000–260,000 tonnes across general refuse, recycling, and garden waste collections. Waste output is influenced by a mix of affluent suburban areas, market towns, and rural villages, many with larger properties and gardens.

Higher levels of home ownership and garden space tend to drive strong recycling and green waste volumes compared to more densely urbanised areas.
