Residents reminded to check bin day due to changes

Residents are being reminded to check their bin collection dates ahead of a scheduled change.

Bin days will change in Adur and Worthing from Tuesday, with the councils saying rounds need to be updated to prepare for food waste collections and due to new homes being built in the area.

Most residents' rubbish, recycling and garden waste collection dates will change as part of a new system aiming to improve the efficiency of bin collections.

An Adur & Worthing Councils spokesperson said: "All collection rounds have been reviewed as part of the upcoming change, which is essential to ensure residents continue receiving a quality and reliable bin collection service."

Some households were asked to put both their refuse and recycling bins out for collection in the first week of the new schedule, which would then go back to an alternate weekly collection service.

Food waste collections are being introduced nationally in 2026 as part government plans.

Adur and Worthing residents can check their collection dates downloading a mobile app, visiting the bin day lookup page, or calling the contact centre team.
