Complete our short survey and help us improve recycling in West Sussex
As part of our mission to help reduce waste and increase recycling, we’re running a short survey to gather information on recycling knowledge in West Sussex. It just takes a few minutes and your answers will help us to help you in the future.
Results from this survey will directly feed into our next communications campaign spanning across the whole of West Sussex.
Take part in our survey.

Reduce your waste this Fathers Day
Don't forget Sunday 18 June is Father's Day. If you're celebrating, remember Father’s Day doesn’t need to cost the earth or create waste!
Why not treat Dad to a lasting gift such as sponsorship of his favourite animal or an experience day he will never forget?
If you have received gifts and cards this year, remember to recycle cards and envelopes once you've enjoyed them and to follow the scrunch test to see if you're wrapping paper is recyclable - scrunch the wrapping paper in your hand. If it holds its shape then it can be recycled in your recycling bin at home. If it springs back then it needs to go in your general waste bin.
