What happens to my recycling and rubbish?

Your recyclables are collected from your door

They are then taken to a transfer station and then transferred to a materials facility.

The different materials are recovered then machine and hand sorted. The different materials are then baled up.

The bales are then sold on to reprocessors to be recycled

Rubbish is collected from your door

The waste is then taken to a transfer station, from where it is transported and incinerated at the Marchwood Incinerator, where energy is recovered in the form of electricity.
