New and replacement bins

How to get a new bin and replace damaged, stolen or lost ones

Bins for new properties

Bins for new properties must be purchased. Sometimes a developer will buy these for you, so please check with the developer who built your property before ordering.

A new property package includes a black waste bin, a blue recycling bin and a glass collection box. To order, please call 01252 622122.

Recycling bins

Recycling bins are for paper, card, tins, cans, aerosols and plastic bottles. 

You can purchase extra recycling bins if needed by calling 01252 622122.

Glass recycling boxes

We provide a fortnightly, kerbside glass collection. All residents are provided with a green box for this collection.

Additional boxes are available free of charge and can be collected from the council offices in Harlington Way, Fleet, or ordered using the link at the top of this page.

Replacement lost, stolen or damaged bins

Please note there is a charge for the replacement of lost, stolen or damaged bins. If you believe your bin to be missing there are some things you need to do before ordering a new one.

  • make sure that you have checked to see whether your bin has been moved away from your normal collection point
  • check to see if your bin has been accidentally claimed by one of your neighbours
  • check the surrounding areas carefully in case your bin has been returned to the wrong property

Sometimes bins get damaged during use and/or emptying. You are responsible for buying a new bin should yours be damaged. Bins damaged within two years of purchase will be replaced free of charge. After this time damage is classed as fair wear and tear. 

To order a new bin, please call 01252 622122.

Additional bins

The standard allocation for all households within Hart District is one x 240-litre household waste bin. 

This should be sufficient capacity if your household waste is managed effectively and you recycle all plastic bottles, tins, cans, aerosols, paper and card. However, if there are exceptional circumstances particular to your household, we may be able to permit an additional household waste bin to be purchased.

Make a request by completing the additional bin capacity application form:
