Local bins and recycling news

AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.

Basingstoke and Deane’s rubbish and recycling bins will be collected on alternate weeks from 12 October 2026, while food-waste collections remain weekly. The council is posting new calendars during September and says collection days may change. It argues that better recycling will reduce rubbish and help meet national targets. In July 2024, opposition councillors criticised the proposals over storage, overflowing bins and a lack of consultation. The council’s current explanation says weekly food-waste collections remove the material most likely to cause smells and attract pests.
