Garden waste

East Hampshire residents can receive fortnightly garden waste collections from just £68 per year.

The garden waste collected goes to a composting site in Hampshire and is made into organic soil conditioner, widely used in local parks and formal gardens.

New customers can sign up for the service online using their MyEHDC account.

Existing customers can renew their licence(s) using MyEHDC.

Thought about composting?

The best thing you can do for the environment is to compost your garden and kitchen waste at home. This reduces pollution from collecting, transporting and processing your garden waste. You’ll also produce compost that you can use in your own garden.

You can get a discounted compost bin from getcomposting.com.
