 There are no changes to your usual recycling, rubbish or food waste collections this festive season.
Please put your rubbish and recycling out by 7am. If you miss your collection, you can take it to the Port Solent household waste recycling centre. It's open seven days a week, except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. You will need to book your slot.
There will be changes to some other services, such as the green waste club. Head to our festive waste page for full details and how to recycle your Christmas tree.
 This festive season, we can all try to be kinder to the planet. We can reduce the impact we have on it by recycling as much as possible. On our festive waste page, we share some ideas and tips for alternative gift wrapping and saving food.
Head to our festive page to see how you can give our planet a Christmas gift.
 A further 5,500 homes have been added to the food waste collection trial to help Portsmouth become a more sustainable city. Cllr Barrett (above, left) and Cllr Ashmore (above, right) kicked off phases three and four in September which saw the trial expanded to two-thirds of the city.
Around 55,000 households are now participating in the trial, collectively recycling more than a staggering 3,000 tonnes since its start in September 2019.
Food waste feeds climate change and we are now looking at ways to help residents not only recycle their food waste, but reduce it, too. Watch this space for tips and tricks to help you reduce your impact on the environment.
