Mini Recycle Centre Guide

We operate over 130 mini recycling sites across Lewes district. These are in addition to our kerbside recycling service which makes collections from households.

Our mini recycling sites are known as 'Bring Sites'. As the name suggests, this requires you to bring your waste to them for recycling, rather than it being collected from you.

The Bring Sites are located around the district in places where people are already likely to visit e.g. car parks and supermarkets.

• Find your nearest mini recycling centre

 

Using The Recycling Sites

Please do:

• Place the right items in the correct container as this helps keep the quality when sorted and sold
• Rinse out all cans, bottles and jars and remove the lids 
• Plastic bottles can be washed, squashed flat and the lid screwed back on
• Recycle little and often. If the recycling banks are full please come back another day.

Please do not:

• leave items for recycling on the floor,
• include anything in a plastic bag
• leave cardboard boxes, refuse, packaging or other waste.

If you do have cardboard to recycle please take it to the nearest Household Waste and Recycling Site. If you are a business you should not leave any commercial waste at any of the mini-recycling centres. Please contact Customer Services for guidance. 

Be aware will take action against those who fly tip or dispose of waste unlawfully. We want people to recycle and lawfully dispose of household and industrial waste.

 

What can be recycled?

A range of bins accept different waste types for recycling. This is a wider variety than available from your kerbside collections

What can be recycled where?

While across the district we do have bins for all kinds of waste, not all sites are the same. Please check which sites accept the items you'd like to recycing.
