A long-running strike by refuse collection workers has ended after a pay offer was accepted.
The GMB union said its members at Adur and Worthing Councils will receive a pay rise of between 8% and 20%.
Workers in the councils’ refuse, recycling and street cleansing department have been taking industrial action since February.
The GMB said the pay deal will mean an increase of 8.2% for refuse loaders and 10.4% for cleansing drivers, while some HGV drivers will receive 20.7%.
Regional organiser Gary Palmer said: “This is a tribute to our members and their dedication and determination to win an award that properly reflects the hard work they put in every day, and especially over the last two years.
“Now they have a deal which is not below inflation, but instead reflects market rates for this sort of work and keeps them ahead of the cost-of-living crisis.
“Our members are committed to the cleaning-up process that has already begun and will have this carried out as soon as possible.”
Meanwhile, refuse collection workers in north Somerset have rejected a revised pay offer, leading to the threat of industrial action.
The GMB said if talks fail next week, more than 100 of its members will walk out of recycling centres and refuse collection services.
