Recycling in Brill

Looking beyond the fortnightly kerb collection (Bucks Council website opens in new tab), there are recycling bins cor books and clothes at the Fire Station in Temple Street - and a number of excellent and deserving charity shops in Thame including Oxfam. The Thame branch of Boots participates in the Boots Recycling Scheme (opens in new tab) (including empty blister packs) and Robert Dyas will take small electrical appliances for recycling - but don’t forget you can leave items like toothbrushes, batteries and cables in a clear plastic bag on top of your blue recycling bin.

Want to get rid of something in reasonable condition? Post a message on the Brill Village Facebook group (opens in new tab); somebody somewhere will want what you no longer need. Alternatively, if the weather is good, leave the item outside your property clearly marked ‘free to take away’ and it’ll go within a day. (Yes, we’ve heard that story about the woman being accused of fly-tipping when she did this - but it wasn’t in Brill.)
