Household waste collection service

In Eastbourne we collect your refuse from your property boundary every fortnight from 7am. Across Lewes district we collect your refuse from your property boundary every week from 6am.

After we have emptied your bin, please store it somewhere that doesn't obstruct the path outside your home.

How to dispose of other types of waste

We cannot accept any type of Hazardous Waste in your household rubbish. If you have a lot of rubbish, you can take the extra to your local https://www.eastsussex.gov.uk/rubbish-recycling/household-waste-recycling-sites. We offer separate collections for these types of waste:

recycling
garden waste
bulky waste, such as furniture or large electrical appliances
food waste (currently only available in Lewes district)
clinical waste or sharps

We will collect your refuse from 6am on the same morning each week, with occasional changes due to public holidays.
