Eleven household waste sites across West Sussex are changing their opening hours and days as of Saturday.

The revamp will also see the introduction of disposal charges for non-household items such as soil, hard-core, plasterboard and tyres.

There will be no charges for green waste, which includes grass cuttings. But, non-household waste will be charged at £4 per rubble bag

David Barling, county council’s cabinet member for residents’ services, said: ‘With increased demand for other essential services coupled with reduced government funding, as a council we needed to live within our means, and make savings.

‘These changes will help us to make those critical savings, while still maintaining a comprehensive service for residents.’

The move follows a wave of consultation at parish, district and borough levels. For details on all the changes and charges, see www.recyclingforwestsussex.org/changes
