Basingstoke and Deane provides its residents with a weekly rubbish collection using black wheeled bins. Some properties may be on a sack collection, while flats will be served with a larger bin.
The collections are provided by our contractor, Veolia Environmental Services.
The council asks that residents place their bin/sack out for collection by 7am on their day of collection and that they are left out until 8pm of that same day. Bins/sacks should be placed on the edge of your property, at the point nearest to the public highway. This could be at the end of your own path/driveway or at the end of a communal path/driveway, at the place where it joins the public highway (the pavement or roadway).
Please put your house number on your bin so that we can return it to the boundary of your property after it has been emptied.
After collection, please take your bin in as soon as possible and store it securely on your property.
Please do not use your bin for large amounts of soil, rubble or garden waste. These items can be taken to your nearest Household Waste Recycling Centre. Click here for further information. Alternatively you can hire a skip from a local skip hire company.

Assisted Waste Collection
For residents who are elderly or disabled and are unable to put their bin out for collection, the council provides an assisted waste collection.

What Happens To My Rubbish?
After collection, all of the rubbish from Basingstoke and Deane is taken to the Chineham Energy Recovery Facility (ERF). The ERF is capable of processing 90,000 tonnes of waste per year and recovers heat energy from the waste to produce steam. This is used to generate up to 8MWs of electricity, supplying the National Grid with sufficient electricity to power more than 10,000 local homes for the life of the facility.
