Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Eastleigh already runs weekly food waste collections, alongside fortnightly black bin, green recycling and glass box pickups, so most residents will notice little day-to-day change. However, from April 2026 garden waste subscription fees rose 8.5% (to £65 a year, or £55 concessionary) and bulky waste charges increased around 11%, following a cabinet decision in September 2025 on annual fees .
Separately, Hampshire County Council approved a £50m recycling plant near Chickenhall Lane, Eastleigh, in April 2025, which should eventually let Eastleigh residents recycle more plastics (pots, tubs, trays, film) and glass kerbside — but it isn't due to open until late 2027, so no bin changes are happening yet .
