Waste Recycling Collection Planning Guidelines

West Northamptonshire Council operates comprehensive waste and recycling schemes across the area with the aim to maximise recycling and divert as much waste as possible from landfill. 

For further information on what waste and recycling services are provided please see Bins, recycling and waste.

The provision of suitable facilities for the storage of waste together with appropriate access arrangements for waste collection vehicles are important aspects of any new or change-of-use development.

Detailed guidance on infrastructure and developer contributions can be found in Supplementary Planning Documents.
