Waste collection in Portsmouth
FRIDAY Our van is in the PO postcodes every Friday. Book it while it's passing.
Next Fridays:
The PO postcode area stretches from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight, and our Friday route covers the Hampshire mainland side only, Portsmouth, Havant, Fareham and the coast around them, not the island. Portsmouth's own energy recovery facility, on the north east corner of Portsea Island, has run since 2005 and burns what cannot be recycled to generate power for around 20,600 local homes. Streets of dense Victorian two up, two down terraces, built for dockyard workers and never designed for a modern three piece suite, are the Portsmouth norm rather than the exception. Same £199 minimum as the rest of the loop, no premium for the coast.
WasteSpeed serves the whole PO postcode area every Friday. No quote visits, no waiting in for a window that never arrives: you know the day before you book because it never changes. The crew carries everything out, sweeps up, and sends photo confirmation when the load is sorted for reuse and recycling.
England recycles around 44 percent of household waste, a figure that has barely moved in a decade. The gap is not technology, it is logistics: bulky items do not fit recycling bins, so sofas and appliances end up landfilled while their timber, steel and foam are wanted by processors. A collected load, sorted properly, is how those numbers move.
Coverage note: mainland only. Email us if you are unsure and we will answer straight.

Portsmouth questions
What day do you collect in Portsmouth (PO postcodes)?
Every Friday. It is a fixed route day, the same every week, which is what keeps the prices fixed too. Type your postcode on the booking page and it shows the next available Fridays.
How much does waste collection cost in Portsmouth?
The same as everywhere on the loop: a £199 visit covers a single item in full, extra items are £20 each, van loads run £229 to £389, and pianos are £199. That includes the two person crew, all loading, transport, disposal fees and VAT. Secure online payment when you book is what confirms the slot.
Do you really cover all PO postcodes?
We cover the mainland part of this area. For island addresses, email us first and we will quote the crossing honestly or point you to a good local firm.
Where does it go after collection?
Loads from the Fri route are sorted at the depot: reuse first, then metal, timber, WEEE and green-waste recycling streams, energy recovery for the rest, landfill last. England recycles around 44 percent of household waste, a figure that has barely moved in a decade. You get photo confirmation when it's done.
