We are urging residents to avoid rushing to the county’s household waste sites in the coming weeks and to think carefully about whether they really need to go.
As the weather improves and people start spring cleaning, carrying out DIY projects or tidying up the garden, we are asking residents to consider whether they can safely store additional waste at home until they have a full car load, or dispose of or recycle it through the kerbside collections, rather than frequently visiting one of the waste sites.
To keep staff and visitors safe during the pandemic restrictions are in place and residents are reminded they may face long queues if they visit a household waste site in the coming weeks. Traffic management has been put in place at the Hastings, Maresfield and Mountfield sites since the start of March due to the sheer volume of vehicles visiting.
