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.
