Walk this Waste

We want to reduce the amount of fly-tipping in Aldershot and Farnborough, but also offer the opportunity to get rid of bulky waste items if you don’t have access to transport.

Residents living near to Mayfield Road, Farnborough, were able to walk up to 3 items of bulky waste (such as beds, household electricals and furniture) to our mobile van for disposal recently.

Items you can get rid of during Walk This Waste

When we are operating our Walk This Waste service, we will accept items including mattresses, beds, furniture, fridges, freezers, microwaves, washing machines, TVs and carpets.

We won’t accept items like bags of household waste, commercial waste, hazardous waste (including asbestos and gas canisters) and paints.

We will accept anything that we normally collect on our bulky waste collection service. Please see our full list of items that we can and cannot collect on the day.

How the collection works

You can only get rid of your item(s) if you have walked-up to the collection point. You cannot drive up to use the service. If you do, you will be turned away. Instead, if you have access to a vehicle take your items to Hampshire County Council's Household Waste Recycling Centres.

Our mobile van will be collecting items from fixed points, which we will advertise before the service operates. If our van is full it will have to go to the depot to be emptied and come back later. We will try to keep to an advertised schedule, but the times may change.

You can walk-up and drop off up to 3 household items at the collection point. Please check to see if the mobile van is at your chosen location before walking your items to it.

You need to show us proof of your address in Rushmoor when you arrive.

You must not dump anything along the route. We have enforcement officers who will take action if you do this.

We will not tolerate any rude or aggressive behaviour and anyone who does so, we will not accept their waste.

Future streets and dates

This scheme is a trial at the moment. We chose the Mayfield Road as it is the worst affected area we have in Rushmoor for fly-tipping.

We will update on this web page and on social media with any future places where you can get rid of your bulky waste items.

Other ways to get rid of your bulky waste

If you have an item to get rid of and can’t use this service at the moment, you can always use our bulky waste collection service for a fee, or take your items for free to one of Hampshire County Council's Household Waste Recycling Centres.
