Bin collections | East Hampshire District Council

Don't bin it

Throwing something in the refuse bin should be the last option for the things we own. There are many other options before we open that lid. Here are some ideas.

What can (and can't) go in your bins

A brief summary of what can and can't go in each of your household bins.

Bulky waste collection

We can arrange to pick up large household items from your home for a fee.

Clinical waste

Your GP can set up clinical waste collection from your home.

Bin collections during adverse weather
