Never miss a Fareham bin day again

Fareham Borough Council covers Fareham, Portchester, Stubbington and the villages of south-east Hampshire between Portsmouth and Southampton. Refuse and recycling are collected fortnightly, and a free weekly food waste service launched on 30 March 2026. Glass is not collected at the kerbside — it goes to bring banks around the borough.

How Fareham bin collections work

With the grey and blue-lidded bins alternating fortnightly, glass to take to the banks, a new weekly food caddy and a paid brown garden bin, Fareham's setup takes some tracking. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so you're always ready by 6am. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Fareham?

Fareham collects the grey general-waste bin and the blue-lidded recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with food waste collected weekly from 30 March 2026. The blue bin takes paper, card, tins, cans and plastic bottles loose — but no glass, which goes to bring banks. Garden waste is a paid 'Clip and Collect' subscription collected fortnightly from a brown-lidded bin. Hampshire County Council handles disposal.

How much does this cost?

My Bin Day is 99p a month — less than a coffee a year. Cancel any time by replying STOP to a reminder and you won't be charged again.

Do you handle bank holidays?

Yes. We track Fareham's published schedule, including the shifts that bank holidays and seasonal changes cause, so your reminder always reflects the real collection date.

Is this an official Fareham council service?

No — My Bin Day is an independent service and is not affiliated with Fareham or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
