Take rubbish to the tip
If you have household waste that cannot be disposed of with your regular collection, you can take it to one of the tips in New Forest.
These tips are also known as Household Waste and Recycling Centres (HWRCs).
They will accept many items that cannot be collected by your normal household rubbish or household recycling collections.
The tips in New Forest and Hampshire are owned by Hampshire County Council and are operated on its behalf by Veolia.
You can find your local tip using the online search tool below.
