Southampton City Council does not collect hazardous waste.
Domestic waste that may be hazardous include:
asbestos
pesticides
fluorescent tubes
low energy light bulbs
oils
some paints
batteries and discarded electrical equipment such as TV's and computer monitors, fridges and freezers.
Although it is possible to dispose of very small amounts of hazardous waste in the normal mixed rubbish collection, larger amounts will need to be disposed of at properly managed waste facilities. You can take it to a household recycling or civic amenity site free of charge.
Low energy light bulbs should be taken to household recycling or civic amenity sites to be recycled.
