Waste Collection
Collecting and disposing of waste in the Borough responsibly and sustainably is an important part of making sure we all enjoy a good quality of life. It includes a careful mix of recycling and re-using, and disposing of what's left to Energy Recovery. The good news is that this means very little of the Borough's household waste is sent to landfill.
Food waste collections
We are preparing to introduce weekly food waste kerbside collections from 30 March 2026. Find out more here.
M27 Closure
The M27 will be fully closed in both directions from between Junction 9 (Whiteley) and Junction 11 (Fareham) from 8pm on 24 December 2025 to 4am on Sunday 4 January 2026. Traffic disruption may cause delays to planned waste collections. We are considering starting collections earlier, to attempt to complete rounds before peak traffic times, and will be monitoring conditions and service status closely throughout the closure.
Residents are advised to put their bins out the night before and to leave them out until they are collected, which may be later than usual. We will work as quickly as conditions allow. You can find more information about your collection dates here.
