Hampshire County Council services in one app

Q: Do I need to book a Hampshire tip?

Yes. Book an appointment online before every visit, up to a week ahead, using the registration of the vehicle you’ll bring. You can also book in the OurHants app.

Q: Can I take a van or trailer to a Hampshire tip?

Yes, with a permit. Vans, pick-ups and trailers need a digital permit from Hampshire County Council. It costs £20 and covers up to 12 visits or 12 months, whichever comes first. Vans hired for three days or fewer can visit if you show the hire agreement.

Q: Is there a charge for DIY waste at Hampshire tips?

Most household waste is free. Each Hampshire household can take up to eight 50 litre sacks of rubble or four single DIY items free in any four weeks, as long as you give the address the waste came from when you book. Anything over that is charged.

Q: Can I use a Hampshire tip if I live in Portsmouth or Southampton?

Yes. Portsmouth and Southampton residents can use Hampshire’s tips free of charge. Other visitors from outside Hampshire pay £13.50 a visit when they book.

Q: How do I report a pothole in Hampshire?

Report it online to Hampshire County Council, which looks after most roads in the county. National Highways looks after the motorways and some major A roads. In Portsmouth and Southampton, report it to the city council.

Q: When are the Hampshire school holidays?

Hampshire County Council publishes term dates for Hampshire schools. Some schools set their own dates, so check with your child’s school. Loci syncs council term dates automatically and reminds you when they’re coming up.

Q: Is Loci run by Hampshire County Council?

No. Loci is an independent community platform. Loci links you to the council’s official webpages, where you can report problems and make requests.

Hampshire County Council

Who does what in Hampshire

Most of Hampshire has two councils. Hampshire County Council runs roads, libraries, schools, social care and the county’s 24 tips. Your district council collects your bins and handles council tax and planning. Portsmouth and Southampton are different: their city councils run all their own services. Loci brings Hampshire County Council and your district council together, from Basingstoke and Winchester to Andover, Fareham and Lymington.

Who runs the tips?

Offer help: spare veg from the allotment, a recommendation, local know-how.
