We’d love to be able to recycle more things, and changes may be on the horizon, but for now what’s most important is that you only put things that Hampshire County Council (HCC) is able to recycle in your bin.
Only the following should go in your recycling (black) bin:
- Tins and cans
- Aerosols
- Paper
- Card
- Plastic bottles
You can also recycle glass bottles and jars (without lids or corks) from home or at one of our bottle banks.
Please ensure that you only put the above items into your recycling and avoid any of them accidentally going in your refuse (green) bin. Anything that can’t be recycled will be separated from other waste and taken elsewhere to be burned for power. This process takes time and costs money.
If you have another material that you think could be recycled but you don’t know where to take it, check out the HCC website.
