New and replacement bins

Latest update - June 2025: We are currently receiving a very high level of requests for new and replacement recycling and garden waste bins in Eastbourne. Please bear with us as there may be a delay in getting these issued. We are prioritising new bin requests, particularly for new garden waste customers.

If your household waste bin or recycling equipment has been lost or damaged, or if you need an additional recycling bin, you can order a new using our online form.

Recycling bags are an alternative solution to some households that do not have space to store a bin, for example, they face a main street. They are only granted to certain households and need investigation and approval from our waste depot. To request recycling bags, whether this is a new request or for additional/replacement bags, please contact us. 

If the pavement is narrow outside your home and you have nowhere to store a bin, you can request a gull-proof bag for your refuse by emailing CustomerFirst@lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk

If you are signed up for garden waste collections and your bin has been lost or damaged, you will need to request a replacement or additional garden waste bin separately.

To reduce odours, maintain street cleanliness and to protect rubbish from animals, we strongly recommend residents put their rubbish in a wheelie bin. Rubbish must be bagged before being put in the bin.
