Waste and recycling

Wheelie bin recycling scheme (and Blue Box recycling)

From 1st April 2008 the recycling service has been run by Adur & Worthing Council Services (AWCS).

Adur District Council has operated a recycling scheme scheme since 1991. It collects recyclable materials direct from resident's properties thereby diverting them from landfill sites.

Your household rubbish and recycling are collected on the same day.

To find out which round you will fall into please see our :

• Household recycling and refuse collection days webpage

The old blue boxes have now been replaced by the blue lidded wheelie bins across most of the Adur District. To find out more information about the new wheelie bins see our :

• Household refuse - wheelie bins, bins and sacks webpage
