Recycle - in your household recycling bin

Yes please.

To help ensure everything is processed correctly, please make sure cartons are emptied before recycling them. Giving them a quick rinse can also help prevent odours and keep your recycling bin clean.

This new addition to our household recycling service means more valuable resources being reused. By recycling your cartons, you are helping to reduce waste, lower carbon emissions and support a more sustainable East Sussex.

You can find more information about the types of cartons accepted, along with general recycling guidance, on the East Sussex County Council website: www.eastsussex.gov.uk/rubbish-recycling/recycle
