Residents across Central Bedfordshire are being reminded that the popular Young Person’s (YP) Card scheme will continue to offer excellent value for money, despite a fare increase coming into effect.
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.
Using buses in Central Bedfordshire remains highly affordable for young people as the £1 maximum single fare for anyone aged 18 and under, introduced in 2024, will continue for the foreseeable future.

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.
