Find out why your bins may not have been collected.

The guidelines below should help you make sure your bin is collected on time: 

  • Find out which bin should be out at the Bins and waste service centre 
  • Leave your bins out before 7am on the day of collection 
  • Make sure they’re at the edge of your property and not hidden from view 
  • Make sure it’s in a bin provided by Mid Sussex District Council 
  • Make sure your recycling bin only contains items that can be recycled 
  • Make sure the bin lid shuts, and the bin is not over-filled 
  • Make sure the lid can move freely. If it’s stuck, it may damage our bin lorry
