From Monday 3 October, the day and time of rubbish and refuse collections will change for most households in Portsmouth.
This is because there will be a new waste collection contractor, Biffa, who have worked out an improved collection system which will save money.
Unlike a lot of councils, there will still be a weekly rubbish collection and the recycling collection will remain fortnightly.
The changes affect houses only – there will be no change to communal collections for blocks of flats.
