Simpler Recycling - Recycling Collection Services
From: from 12/05/25, Executive - Tuesday, 20th May, 2025 6.00 pm, - May 20, 2025
To consider the introduction of new recycling collection services across the Borough in March 2026. The Environment Act 2021 and its associated Regulations, known as Simpler Recycling, requires the Council to collect household food waste weekly, collect glass from the kerbside and extend the range of dry missed recyclables collected from households by 31 March 2026. In November, Members approved the proposals for introducing food waste collection services from 30 March 2026. This report considers what dry recycling collection services will be offered to Fareham’s households. Hampshire County Council, as Waste Disposal Authority, has advised that the current waste disposal infrastructure cannot currently process paper, card, metal, glass and plastics in a way that is compliant with the new Simpler Recycling requirements. As such, Fareham Borough Council has four options to consider for dry recycling collections. The recommended option is to make no changes to the dry recycling collections until the new waste disposal infrastructure is operational in Winter 2027. This is supported by Defra, has minimal impact on the Borough’s potential to improve recycling performance and incurs no additional costs.
Recommendations Approved
