Waste and recycling
Change your lifestyle
We are challenging the residents of Adur to make real changes in their lifestyles, to use more fully the kerbside recycling scheme and the mini-recycling centres, and to make informed purchases by choosing goods without excess packaging.
Our current recycling rate is about 28%
Approximately 106 million tonnes of waste is produced in England and Wales annually, most of this goes to landfill.
In West Sussex alone 400,000 tonnes is thrown away every year and with landfill space running out and becoming more expensive.
We need to cut the waste we create.
Coming soon : See how Adur is performing against Government targets.
