Bin collections update

Released: Tuesday, 13 May 2025

We would like to provide residents with another update on our new bin collection schedule.

As we switch to the new collection system, we're using all our available resources to make the changeover as easy as possible. We're aware some households have missed collections and want to thank everyone for their patience as we complete the changes.

At the end of last week we fell behind on our garden waste rounds, so to catch up some of our team worked on Saturday. Despite the short notice, many residents had their garden waste bins ready by the kerbside. Big thanks to everyone who helped spread the word and make their neighbours aware of the additional collection.

The new refuse collections are mostly on schedule across Adur and Worthing. We're aware that some households in Shoreham missed their refuse collection last week - we can only apologise for this and would encourage you to leave any additional bagged waste beside your black-lidded bins when we see you on Wednesday 14th May 2025.

The new recycling collection rounds are ongoing in Worthing. During this final switch over week, some residents will experience a longer gap between collections.

If you're awaiting a recycling collection, please place your excess recycling in an untied bag or a suitable container beside your bins. Please also double check your next recycling collection day on the bin day page on our website or our service app.

To find your next bin collection dates, see:

We'd like to apologise to residents who have missed their new collection date and want to reassure you that any excess side waste or recycling will all be collected on your next collection date. Alternatively, you can book an appointment at your local recycling centre.
