Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Havant announced in July 2026 that its weekly food-waste pilot would expand to 1,600 more properties with communal entrances in the northern pilot area, with collections planned from 20 July. Around 10,000 households were already included, and more than 100 tonnes had been collected. Residents reported less-full black bins and fewer kitchen smells. Separately, a June council update said recycling collections in southern areas had been suspended for a week so crews could tackle missed rubbish collections. Recycling was scheduled to resume from 22 June. The council said domestic rubbish had been prioritised during the disruption.
