Whilst many of us have been in lockdown, we have had an opportunity to declutter rooms, garages, or sheds. Under normal circumstances we would take the clutter to charity shops or to the HWRS (Household Waste Recycling Site), the TIP.
I would ask you not to simply dump all your declutter into your black top kerbside rubbish bin. Declutter is not household waste.
The Household Waste Recycling Site (the Tip)
Did you know that 80% of what you take to the Tip is recycled?
First organise all the rubbish at home for the Tip into different waste streams into boxes, so disposing is easy when he gets there!
Also remember to take your ID to show you are a West Sussex resident.
Your general waste bin
- Try to put as little as possible in this bin – can anything be reused?
- Bag or double bag all food waste.
- Check what can be recycled and put this clean, dry and loose into your recycling bin. Check this site for what can be recycled – more than you think - www.recycleforwestsussex.org
Your recycling bin
We want you to keep recycling, and you will need to get as much as possible in your bin.
- Cut up or rip up cardboard to cereal box size – great stress relief
- Plastics, squash or open out
- Do not leave recycling next to bin. They will not take it as there is a handling risk.
