Recycling changes

Your waste, recycling and garden waste will now be collected by our new contractor, Biffa. 

Glass

Glass bottles and jars must be placed in with other recycling in your green recycling bin or pink sacks. Glass left in your black glass recycling box will not be collected.

We will not be collecting your black glass recycling box. We have a list of ideas for how to re-use your box. If you do not wish to keep the box, please dispose of it at your local tip (Hastings Household Waste Recycling Site).

Food and drink cartons (such as Tetra Pak)

 Any food or drink cartons that are plastic or foil lined (such as Tetra Pak) can no longer be put into your recycling bin or pink sacks. They should instead be placed in your black rubbish bin or bag and will be used to make electricity at the Energy Recovery Facility in Newhaven.
