Hampshire’s population of 1.64 million comprised around 738,500 households
in 2008/9. The Project Integra collection authorities retain the freedom to
decide on the details of the collection services they provide to their residents –
st<strong>and</strong>ardized approaches <strong>and</strong> protocols are used only where necessary for the
efficient functioning of the collective infrastructure:
All authorities collect the same combination of recyclable materials comingled
at the kerbside (paper <strong>and</strong> cardboard, cans <strong>and</strong> tins, plastic
bottles). Coverage of households by this key service is now 98%;
The majority of authorities provide a collection of garden waste for
composting;
Glass is collected through bottle banks by all authorities <strong>and</strong> at the
kerbside by four;
Six authorities provide commercial waste collections to local businesses.
In addition to the kerbside collection <strong>and</strong> other services provided by the
collection authorities, the disposal authorities provide 26 Household Waste
Recycling Centers (HWRCs) which accept a wide range of materials for reuse,
recycling, composting or disposal.
Additional collection arrangements are made with households for bulky
household waste <strong>and</strong> healthcare waste. Cleansing services provided by the
authorities include litter bins, street cleaning, removal of litter, graffiti,
ab<strong>and</strong>oned vehicles <strong>and</strong> fly tipping – the resulting waste is also managed
through the collective infrastructure. ( Hampshire County council., 2009)
