Rubbish Bins
In East Hampshire the green bins are for ordinary household waste that can not be recycled as part of our Project Integra county-wide agreement.
On collection day your green bin must be placed out by 7am. If your bin is not out when the crew visits your road they will be unable to return to empty it later, so please make sure it is out in time.
Things not to put in your green bin!
The contents should only be normal household domestic waste and must not include any of the following items:
- Stones or brick rubble
- DIY material
- Paint / chemicals or oil
- Hot ashes
- Clinical waste (we provide a free domestic service for this)
- Commercial, trade or industrial waste
- Scrap metal
- Poisonous or noxious waste
- Garden waste
- Electrical products
Should any of these items be found in your green refuse bin it will be left unemptied.
Overloaded bins or extra rubbish
Only one 240 ltr green wheeled bin will be collected per household. If you overload your bin the crew will take the excess out, empty the bin and put the excess back in. Extra rubbish left on the ground will not be taken so please do not leave it out at all.
Nationally we, and other council's want to encourage waste minimisation, hence why we only pick up 240lt a week, either recyclable waste or non-recyclable waste.
You can get rid of any extra waste at your local Household Waste Recycling Centre which is run by Hampshire County Council, or we can collect bulky household waste for you (there is a charge for this service).
Missed bins
If your refuse has not been collected it may be because you had incorrect items (as listed above) in the bin, overloaded the bin, put out the wrong bin by mistake, or you had not put out your bin in time.
