Waste and population in Slough

Slough Borough Council serves a population of around 160,000 people across a densely populated urban area in Berkshire. The town is a major commercial hub, with strong transport links to London and Heathrow Airport, and a diverse residential population.

The borough generates a significant volume of household waste each year, typically in the region of 65,000–85,000 tonnes across general refuse, recycling, and food waste collections. Waste levels reflect both the population size and the intensity of economic activity in the area.

Waste output is influenced by high-density housing, a large number of flats and shared accommodation, and a strong commercial presence. These factors contribute to consistently high and concentrated waste generation across the borough.
