Bin collections | East Hampshire District Council

Bin collections during adverse weather

During periods of adverse weather, waste collections could be delayed if it is unsafe for our workforce.

Bin collections over Christmas and New Year

Over the Christmas and New Year period 2025-26, bin collections will change around the bank holidays.

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.

Garden waste

We operate a paid-for kerbside garden waste collection service every two weeks.

Glass recycling

We provide fortnightly glass collection from the kerbside. We will take any excess glass at your collection as long as it is in a suitable container and not too heavy.

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.
