Chalvey Household Waste and Recycling Centre is open 7 days a week (excluding Christmas day). Opening times are between:

• 1 April and 30 September: 8am to 6.45pm and;
• 1 October and 31 March: 8am to 5.45pm.

Height barrier

Householders in "high vehicles" or those carrying commercial waste will need to access the lower site and weighbridge. The maximum vehicle height is set at 1.75 metres (5ft 9inches) - users should check before using. This is high enough to let cars into the site but low enough to prevent large trade vehicles.

Weighbridge

Residents with people carriers and domestic van users can still use the sight (except Sundays). Drivers should report to the weighbridge where vehicles are inspected to make sure only domestic waste is being tipped. 

The weighbridge opening times are:

• Mondays to Fridays, from 7am to 4pm and;
• Saturday from 7.30am to 4pm;
• Closed on Sundays.

Please note that large quantities of DIY waste will be treated as trade waste; it is illegal to deposit trade waste on a public site.

Businesses have a legal duty of care to dispose of their waste properly and must pay commercial rates.

We also have an agreement to use the sites, which are run by Buckinghamshire County Council:

• Burnham - map of Crow Piece Lane SL2 3TG 
• Langley - map of Langley Park Road SL3 6DD

Opening times and information for the Burnham and Langley recycling centres are on the Buckinghamshire County Council website.
