Who does what in Wiltshire

Broadly speaking, the District Councils are responsible for collecting rubbish, while Wiltshire County Council is responsible for arranging the disposal of it as well as driving forward Wiltshire's recycling programme.

In 1996, Wiltshire County Council contracted Hills Minerals & Waste Limited - a Wiltshire based company - to carry out the disposal of municipal waste, including recycling, on a twenty year contract. Hills are also contracted to manage the Household Recycling Centres.
