The council said the move will “ensure that residents can guarantee entry to the Millbrook site, even at peak times, while providing the council a means of limiting queuing traffic”.
Bookings can apparently be made “quickly and easily” on Hampshire County Council’s website or by telephone on 023 8017 9949, Monday to Friday 9am to 5:30pm.
Time slots can be booked a maximum of seven days in advance and need to be made a minimum of 48 hours ahead of any planned visit. Residents can book up to three slots per week, with no more than two slots on the same day. Face coverings must be worn to visit the site.
Only “essential journeys” to the HWRC should be undertaken, said the council, with the kerbside waste collection services used to dispose of waste wherever possible.
