Farnborough is a town in Hampshire which is part of the borough of Rushmoor Council and includes the GU14 postal code. Farnborough is one of the major towns which makes up the Farnborough / Aldershot Built-up Area. This area also includes the towns of Camberley, Deepcut, Frimley and Sandhurst as well as surrounding villages including Ash and Tongham. Farnborough recycling is administered by Hampshire County Council.
If you’re looking to create space, then perhaps it’s best to start by throwing out some of the things you don’t need. That’s why we’ve put together this Farnborough recycling guide with links to local area companies that may be useful. We’ve tried to recommend local companies with good ratings over nationwide companies, but please do your research before booking the services of anyone listed on this page.
For those things you want to keep but really don’t have the space for, then the team at Self Storage Hampshire is here to help you. You can check out our cheap Farnborough self storage prices here.
