New and replacement bins
How to get a new bin and replace a damaged one
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.
Replacing damaged bins
You are responsible for buying a new bin should yours be damaged. However, bins damaged within two years of purchase will be replaced free of charge (please note, you will need to provide proof of purchase). After this time, damage is classed as fair wear and tear.
To order a new bin, please call 01252 622122.
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
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:
