Solid Waste (Trash)

trash truckThe Solid Waste Division picks up household waste, yard waste, scrap metals, and bulky items from residences weekly within the City of Hampton. The division also collects household recycling every other week.

Trash rules enforcement

In an effort to control increasing costs of trash collection, Hampton will begin issuing violations and fines for customers who fail to follow the regulations.

These measures, announced in January, went into effect July 1, 2023, to give residents time to get better acquainted with the rules and to avoid fines. 

For the first violation of a calendar year, residents will receive a written warning. For the second, a $50 fine will be issued, and for each subsequent violation a $75 fine.
