Waste and population in East Hampshire

East Hampshire District Council serves a population of around 125,000 people across towns such as Alton, Petersfield, and Horndean, along with a number of villages and rural communities. The district includes large areas of countryside, including parts of the South Downs National Park.

The district generates a significant volume of household waste each year, typically in the region of 45,000–60,000 tonnesacross general refuse, recycling, and garden waste collections. Waste levels reflect a largely residential population spread across both towns and rural areas.

Waste output is influenced by a high proportion of detached and semi-detached homes, many with gardens, contributing to strong green waste volumes. The presence of protected landscapes also encourages a focus on recycling and environmental management across the district.
