Residents are being reminded to check the council website before visiting a local Household Recycling Centre (HRC) and to allow plenty of time for the trip.
There are nine HRCs in the county and Buckinghamshire Council are asking residents to plan ahead if they intend to visit an HRC, especially during busier times such as weekends
Before visiting, residents are encouraged to check the webcams online to see how busy the site is and for the quieter times to visit.
All sites are currently open 9am-4pm and tend to get busier after lunch.
From April HRCs will stay open later as sites shut two-hours later at 6pm
Residents are being asked to consider coming back at another time if the site is busy, especially if there are queues outside the site.
Cllr Bill Chapple OBE, Cabinet Member for Environment and Climate Change, said: “We’re committed to making sure our HRCs remain open and safe for our staff and visitors.
“The sites are typically quietest and best to visit mid-week, but if you have to visit at the weekend, remember the earlier the better.
“Please also bear in mind, three of our local sites – Aylesbury, Burnham and Chesham, are closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
“Spring is commonly the busiest time of the year with queues even more likely with current restrictions.
“Please only visit if you cannot store your waste safely and where possible, make use of the kerbside collection services available from Buckinghamshire Council.
