We’re aware that some glass recycling bins across the borough are full and that residents are unable to use them. We’re currently experiencing a shortage of staff so have had to prioritise the more critical collections such as rubbish, garden and clinical waste. We’re working to resolve this, but while we’re operating reduced glass collections, please could we request that residents don’t leave glass around the bins as it can be dangerous to the public as well as to our crews. If you find that a glass recycling bin is full, please use a different glass bank or take your glass home and try again on another day. We apologise for the inconvenience caused and thank residents for their patience.

 

Large glass recycling banks are now in place across the borough to support and encourage continued glass recycling.

Havant Borough Council, in partnership with Norse South East, has introduced 10,700-litre enclosed, eye-catching skips at various locations, these are listed below.

Remember: your recycling should be clean, dry and loose. This helps reduce contamination and ensures materials can be effectively sorted and recycled.

It’s also important to place only the correct materials in the glass banks to avoid spoiling the quality of other recyclable items.

Please do not leave glass bottles or jars on the ground around the recycling banks. This creates a safety hazard and is considered fly-tipping, which is a criminal offence. If a skip appears full, check both sides for space or visit another nearby glass recycling site.
