Fareham Borough Council Supports Recycle Week

Now in its 22nd year, Recycle Week is the nation’s biggest annual celebration of recycling, running from 22 – 28 September.

Fareham Borough Council is committed to recycling as much waste as possible and is currently preparing to introduce weekly food waste collections from March 2026.

However, there is always more that can be done, which is why the Council is proudly supporting the Recycle Week campaign to shine a spotlight on items that end up in the rubbish bin but can, and should, be recycled. These include:

Executive Member for Streetscene at Fareham Borough Council, Cllr Ian Bastable commented: “Fareham residents are great at recycling already, but there is a lot of confusion around what can and can’t be recycled. Recycle Week helps to shine a spotlight on some of the items which are often put into general waste bins, but that should be put into recycling bins or glass recycling banks. By rescuing these missed items, we can make our recycling efforts even more impactful.”

Catherine David, CEO of WRAP said: “Recycle Week continues to be a powerful moment to inspire action across the UK. By highlighting everyday items like shampoo bottles—things we often overlook—we’re helping people see the real impact of small changes. Together with local authorities and communities, we’re making it easier to do the right thing and keep valuable materials in use. Let’s rescue these items from the rubbish and give them a second life.”
