Domestic refuse and recycling collection rounds across the New Forest district will change on Monday 4 October to ensure the service to residents remains cost effective and efficient.

Almost half of properties will be given a new collection day for their refuse and recycling and nearly everybodywill have their rubbish collected at a different time of day, even if the day itself remains the same.

Councillor Edward Heron, NFDC portfolio holder for environment, said: “The reorganisation means the total number of rounds has been reduced, saving around £80,000 a year.

“By reviewing the way we do things we are able to ensure that we continue to deliver efficient and cost-effective services for taxpayers.”

A letter will be sent to all residents from 13 September, telling them what their new collection day will be (whether it has changed or not) and the reasons for the change.

Residents will be asked to put their recycling and rubbish out for collection by 6am on their specified day as the round changes mean that crews will arrive at the property at a different time.

Recycling and rubbish will still be collected from the kerbside every week using the popular black and clear sacks. The collection day for other services, such as the Garden Waste Collection Service, will remain the same.
