We will temporarily pause garden waste collections for 12 weeks this winter, from Monday, 1 December 2025 to Friday, 20 February 2026. Collections will resume on Monday, 23 February 2026.
We're inviting residents, businesses and community groups to have their say on a new Waste Strategy which will shape how waste and recycling is managed across the area for the next 25 years.
More drivers could switch to electric vehicles thanks to our successful bid for £1.4 million of government funding to spend improving electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the area.
Residents in Houghton Regis and Leighton-Linslade can now access 5 electric vehicles and 1 hybrid vehicle from as little as £4 per hour or £35 per day.
People who want to continue with fortnightly garden waste collections from 1 April 2024 are being urged to sign up to ensure they get the most from our subscription-only service.
Drivers of electric vehicles who park on the street outside their homes are trialling a new charging system that provides a safe way to charge their vehicles.
