Coronavirus: Bin collection update

Recycling and rubbish collections are currently continuing as normal and Fareham Borough Council will do everything possible to continue this service.

Residents are being asked to protect our staff by taking precautions when disposing of their rubbish.

  • Please can all rubbish be disposed of in sealed bags and make sure your bin lid is firmly closed.

  • For people with symptoms associated with coronavirus (COVID-19) or self-isolating at home, please seal personal waste such as tissues and disposable cleaning cloths in smaller plastic bags and store them for 72 hours before double bagging your waste and placing it in your refuse bin.

  • Recycling must remain loose in the blue-lid bin as usual. No absorbent paper, such as tissue or kitchen towel, is recyclable.

The Council is aware that glass banks are filling up fast. We are currently running this service, but please do not leave glass on the ground around banks, where it poses a risk to people and animals. If the bank is full when you visit, please take your glass back home and re-visit at a later date.

The garden waste service has been suspended, so the Council can focus on rubbish and recycling collections.

The fridge/freezer collection and bulky waste service have now been suspended and there will be no collections.

No new bookings will be taken for fridge/freezer or bulky waste collections until further notice.
