Waste Management

Hart District Council has shown a leading role in waste management with many new and innovative projects and schemes being put into practice.

Hart have introduced the Final Phase of Kerbside Glass Collection.

From the week beginning 4^th February 2008 Hart began collecting glass from every household in the District. With the introduction of a new 7.5 tonne glass vehicle Hart is now able to collect from properties in outlying and hard to reach areas which we had not been able to include in the kerbside scheme. Glass crates were delivered to these properties in January 2008.

Glass crates are emptied on the same day as the blue recycling bin, and should be placed at kerbside by 6:30am on the day of collection.

For more information on the kerbside glass collection please click on the following link, kerbside glass collection.

Changes to Black and Blue Bin Collections

Some changes to collection days were also introduced, households affected by these changes received a letter detailing the changes to their collection days.

These changes are necessary to allow the Council to provide a more efficient, reliable and effective service. Most of these changes affected the day of collection within the same week but some changes reversed black and blue collection weeks, with black bins collected during the week when the blues were normally collected and vice versa.
