Rubbish and Recycling

Portsmouth residents produce enough rubbish to fill Fratton Park stadium every year. Our job at the Council is to collect and dispose of your rubbish in the most sustainable way possible. Our priority is to help you reduce, reuse, recycle and compost all that you can.

To find out your rubbish and recycling collection day view the interactive maps available below.
