Deborah Urquhart, Cabinet Member for Environment and Climate Change said: “Our Book to Recycle system significantly reduces waiting times, it takes less than a minute to book your slot and same-day bookings are available. Recycling all you can reduces waste, saves energy and helps tackle climate change. Recycling is a crucial component of the environmental strategy behind our Council Plan, and we encourage everyone to recycle as much of their waste as possible.”
You can recycle almost anything at recycling centres, from hard plastics to textiles and books. For a handy A-Z and more information on how to book an appointment, go to: www.westsussex.gov.uk/recycling
