Recycling Centres across West Sussex will move to autumn and winter opening hours from this Wednesday.

The County Council say centres will open daily from 9am to 4pm.

But to reflect lower visitor numbers, some sites will close for an extra day each week.

The updated opening days for each centre are: 

  • Billingshurst - Monday to Wednesday, Saturday to Sunday 
  • Bognor Regis - Monday to Wednesday, Saturday to Sunday 
  • Burgess Hill - Monday to Wednesday, Friday to Sunday 
  • Chichester - Monday, Wednesday to Sunday 
  • Crawley - Monday to Wednesday, Friday to Sunday 
  • East Grinstead - Monday, Thursday to Sunday 
  • Horsham - Monday, Thursday to Sunday 
  • Littlehampton - Monday, Thursday to Sunday 
  • Midhurst - Monday, Thursday to Sunday 
  • Shoreham-by-Sea - Wednesday to Sunday 
  • Worthing - Monday to Wednesday, Friday to Sunday 

All centres will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. 

Before visiting any West Sussex Recycling Centre, residents must book a timed slot. Booking is quick and easy via the Book to Recycle system, or by calling 01243 642106 for those without internet access. Slots can be booked up to 14 days in advance, or on the same day when there is availability. 

Deborah Urquhart, West Sussex County Council Cabinet Member for Environment and Climate Change, said: “Adjusting our Recycling Centre hours for autumn and winter helps us manage resources efficiently while continuing to provide a high-quality service to residents. 

“Our easy-to-use Book to Recycle system plays a key role in this, helping to reduce queues and allowing residents to plan their visit. It also provides up-to-date information on when each centre is open, which can be helpful during the revised autumn/winter schedule. 

“Recycling as much as possible reduces waste, saves energy and helps combat climate change. It’s a key part of our Council Plan commitment to protect the environment, and we encourage everyone to recycle as much of their waste as possible.”
