Lewes District Council – Improving recycling in Lewes district

Lewes District Council is looking at moving to fortnightly refuse (black sack waste) collections from November 2025, to increase household recycling in the district.

Recycling collections would stay fortnightly and food waste collections would stay weekly.

Lewes District Council is interested in knowing what positive and negative impacts changing to Alternate Weekly Collections could have on your household. To find out more, please visit: lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk/AWC.
