Hampshire County Council has announced plans to close 12 of its 24 municipal waste sites in an attempt to save £1.6 million, but the county council is still struggling with a £132 million budget deficit. However, people are getting up day by day to get rid of stuff that bin collectors refuse to collect, according to Mail Online, who describes the closures as'short-sighted' and likely to result in a new scourge of fly-tipping throughout the South Coast county. Hampshire's 24 tips are bordering not only major cities Southampton and Portsmouth, but also towns and villages, and cities all around the country. The county's household waste recycling centers are expected to have opening times and types of garbage that can be left.
