Despite there being no statutory requirement for the County Council to dispose of commercial waste, a service has been established at 3 transfer stations within the county:
- Burgess Hill - Fairbridge Way, Burgess Hill, RH15 8AR
- Chichester - Coach Road, Westhampnett, PO18 0NS (entrance off Stane Street)
- Crawley (recyclables only) - Metcalf Way, Crawley, RH11 7XN
They provide a facility for small businesses to dispose of their own recyclables or waste (similar to household waste) using small vehicles, up to a maximum of 7.5 tonnes. Business and commercial waste taken to a household waste recycling site will be turned away.
Construction and demolition waste from businesses cannot be accepted at these sites.
