Changes to recycling and rubbish collections from 2025 to 2026

We are introducing a new waste collection service for the New Forest district from June 2025 to March 2026. It will be introduced in 3 phases, with different areas starting at different times. 

Households will get wheelie bins for alternate week recycling and rubbish collections, and food waste caddies for weekly food waste collections.

Glass collections will remain every 4 weeks using your current black glass collection box.

If you live in a flat, a property which shares communal bins or we have assessed your property as unsuitable for wheelie bins, the waste containers you use for the new service may be different.

Our new waste collection service is for domestic households only.
