Some recycling sites offer pedestrian access for residents travelling to the sites on foot without a vehicle, for example if living nearby and are bringing a few small items by hand.

The following sites have a dedicated pedestrian entrance (please note there is no parking outside or near the site for oversize or other vehicles. It is therefore not permitted to park outside or near the site and bring waste into the site on foot):

  • Crowborough
  • Eastbourne
  • Newhaven (pedestrian access allowed to a small area of the site)
