There will be no change to rubbish and recycling collection days following the bank holidays in May.
Rubbish and recycling collections scheduled for Mondays in May will continue to be collected on Monday 1 May, 8 May, and 29 May. You can also check your bin collection dates on our website: www.portsmouth.gov.uk/recycling-and-rubbish
Please put your rubbish and recycling out ready for collection by 7am.
If you are registered for the Green Waste Club, your garden waste collections will also continue throughout this time.
To check that you are recycling right, please visit our recycling pages – www.portsmouth.gov.uk/recycling. Remember you can only put these in your green bin:
- paper
- cardboard
- plastic bottles
- tins and cans
- aerosols
If your bin has not been collected, please leave it out and report it. The council aims to resolve a missed collection within two days.
