Milton Keynes Council is intending to build a Residual Waste Treatment Facility (RWTF) to dispose of "black sack" waste in a sustainable manner, avoiding the need to send it to landfill which is both costly and environmentally damaging.

Milton Keynes Council is currently out to tender for the design and build of a new Environmental Services Depot, providing vehicle parking for the refuse and street cleansing vehicles. The new depot is to be built adjacent to the Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) in Colts Holm Road, Old Wolverton, replacing the current outdated Home Farm Depot in Sherwood Drive, Bletchley.
Milton Keynes Council's innovative battery recycling scheme, launched six months ago as part of our weekly refuse and recycling collection service, has proved to be a great success. Local residents have welcomed the scheme as on average we are sending a tonne of used batteries for recycling every month, making us one of the country's best areas for battery recycling!
