MK Council will be restarting its weekly food and garden waste collections on Wednesday 18 August.
Collections were suspended last month due to reduced staff numbers caused by COVID-19 and self-isolation.
Since the pause, MKC's partner Serco has implemented new protocols for testing and a quicker return to work. With these measures in place and looking at its capacity forecasts for the rest of the month, MKC says it is able to restart the service from Wednesday 18 August.

In a statement they said: 'Unfortunately, we are not able to accept bagged green waste in addition to the bins. We know that people may have accumulated green waste during this brief pause, so would ask that you keep composting where you can.'
Cabinet Member for the Public Realm, Councillor Lauren Townsend said: “I’d like to thank everyone for their patience while we’ve had to pause weekly green bin collections, and our bin crews who have worked tirelessly in these exceptional circumstances to keep waste and recycling collections going as usual.”
