FOI request (FOIR-372621685)

Where is recycling taken?

Requested Wed 20 October 2021
Responded  Tue 26 October 2021

Can you share with me information about what happens with the bins/recycling that is collected?

Is recycling delivered to a dedicated place to process recycling? Is recycling taken to the same place as general waste?

If you could explain, that would be great.

Response

All Hastings refuse, recycling and garden waste trucks go to the waste transfer station at Freshfields, Bexhill Road, St Leonards on sea, East Sussex. The waste is then sorted and sent off to the different facilities.

Hastings Borough Council is just a collection authority. East Sussex County Council is the disposal authority, please visit their website for further information:
