Changes to Rubbish and Recycling Collection Days

As of 15th April changes were made to the Rubbish and Recycling Collections. Please check our Bin Day Search for your current collection day.

Garden waste collection days will not be changing.

Why are the rubbish and recycling collections changing?

Following a review of the rubbish and recycling collections in Wealden, changes to some collection rounds have been made to further improve the performance and efficiency of the service.

What does this mean?

This means that from Monday 15th April the current collection schedule for rubbish and recycling has changed for some properties.

Please note: not all rubbish and recycling collections have changed.

Please continue to put your bin out by 7am on your collection day as the time bins are emptied is likely to change, even if the collection day remains the same.

What happens next?

Letters (including a collection calendar) have been sent out to those properties affected by the change. However, where Biffa have identified further minor changes, we may need to send further information to any properties affected.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are no changes to the garden waste collection – these collection days will remain the same.

Whilst garden waste collections may previously have taken place on the same day as either your rubbish or recycling collection, this was just a coincidence. Therefore, please do not consider that this will be the case following the round changes.

If you are not sure of your garden waste collection, please use the bin day search to check when the next collection is scheduled .
