Refuse & Recycling

Household Waste - Domestic Bins

Chichester District Council now operate an alternate weekly waste and recycling collection service and have provided all households with two wheeled bins. One week the general waste is collected and the following week the recycling is collected. The collection day in Wisborough Green is Tuesday (except over the Christmas and New Year period) although different parts of the village have different bins emptied. Do watch your neighbours!!

Burgundy Wheeled Bin - Recycling bin. All your recyclable materials should be placed loose in the bin (please rinse out plastic bottles and cans beforehand) and do not put carrier bags in this bin. If possible, do squash the materials to reduce the volume. List of items to be placed in this bin. From January 2011 glass can also be placed in the bin.

Black Wheeled Bin - For the leftover rubbish that cannot be recycled or composted. It is not for garden waste, rubble, bulky items, corrosive materials/liquids or hot ashes. Please do not overfill your waste bin; the lid should be closed at all times.

Additional general waste that cannot fit inside the black wheeled bin will be collected if it is contained in a special clear Council marked biodegradable 'excess waste sack'. Waste contained in other bags or sacks around the bin will not be collected. These Council sacks are available for purchase from Council offices and a number of local retailers, and should be placed next to your black wheeled bin on general waste collection day.

Collection Point
The collection point is at your property boundary at the nearest point to the public highway. To ensure you do not miss your collection, please place the appropriate wheeled bin at the collection point by 7.00am.

Where properties are unsuitable for wheeled bins alternative arrangements can be made by agreement with the Council. Likewise, assistance maybe available if you have physical problems that prevent you from taking your bin to your property boundary. If this is the case, please contact a Waste Awareness Officer by telephoning 01243 534619 or email.
