New and replacement bins
If your household waste bin or recycling equipment has been lost or damaged, or if you need an additional recycling bin, you can order a new using our online form.
Recycling bags are an alternative solution to some households that do not have space to store a bin, for example, they face a main street. They are only granted to certain households and need investigation and approval from our waste depot. To request recycling bags, whether this is a new request or for additional/replacement bags, please contact us.
If the pavement is narrow outside your home and you have nowhere to store a bin, you can request a gull-proof bag for your refuse by emailing CustomerFirst@lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk
If you are signed up for garden waste collections and your bin has been lost or damaged, you will need to request a replacement or additional garden waste bin separately.
To reduce odours, maintain street cleanliness and to protect rubbish from animals, we strongly recommend residents put their rubbish in a wheelie bin. Rubbish must be bagged before being put in the bin.
