Christmas collection changes - Lewes
Recycling collections
If you are a Lewes District resident, please make sure that your bins and bags are put out at the boundary of your property by 6am on the day of collection.
All recycling and garden waste collections will be carried out according to your separate collection calendar. If you need a new one you can download it from Environment First.
Or you can double check your dates which are listed below, as some residents will need to put their refuse out earlier than normal.

Please make sure all decorations, tree stands and pots are removed before recycling. Alternatively, you can take it to one of the collection points (listed below) across the district by Sunday 22 January.
