It’s bin changed – from October

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.  

You can find your new collection day by:
  • looking out for the new collections calendar leaflet which will be delivered to all households in September
  • using the postcode search facility which will be available from 17 September at http://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/waste/21935.html
  • or attending one of these information roadshows
