The council’s new waste and recycling collection service will come into effect for residents in Bransgore, Fordingbridge, Ringwood and other areas in phase two.
This means that from Monday, October 20, people will be using wheelie bins and food waste caddies for their household waste.
Food waste will be collected weekly and general waste and recycling will be collected on alternate weeks.

With this change, residents are encouraged to check their new collection day, as it may differ from their previous black and clear sack collection day.
Councillor Geoffrey Blunden, portfolio holder for environment and sustainability, said: “Our new waste and recycling collection service begins for our Phase 2 residents next week, bringing improved recycling opportunities to around 15,000 more homes across the New Forest.
“The second phase of this rollout marks another important milestone in our commitment to improving how we manage waste and recycling across the district.”
He added that phase one demonstrated the positive impact the changes can have, with an average of 48 tonnes of food waste collected each week.
The council is also encouraging residents to begin filling their food waste caddies, general waste bins and recycling bins after their final sack collection.
