Garden waste

There are various ways you can turn your garden waste into a useful soil conditioner. You can compost at home using purpose made bins or build your own, take it to an East Sussex County Council run Household Waste and Recycling Site where it is taken for composting, or you can subscribe to our garden waste collection service.

Real Christmas Trees can be returned to some suppliers, taken to an East Sussex County Council run Household Waste and Recycling Site where it is taken for composting, dropped off at a Council run 'drop off' point which will be advertised on our website over the festive period, or we will take it if you subscribe to our garden waste collection service.
