Our Household Waste Recycling Sites (also known as tips)
Find out where our Household Waste Recycling Sites are, their opening times, what you can and can't take to them, and how you can get access.
Our sites and their opening hours
We have two Household Waste Recycling Sites in the city.
Hove recycling site
Our Hove site is off Old Shoreham Road, BN3 7AE, between Aldrington Avenue and Leighton Road.
The opening hours are:
- Monday to Friday, 8am to 4.30pm
- Saturday, 8.30am to 1.30pm
- Sunday, 10.30am to 1.30pm
- closed on bank holidays
There may be short delays while we empty containers during opening hours.
Brighton recycling site
Our Brighton site is in Whitehawk, off Wilson Avenue, BN2 5PA.
The opening hours are:
- Monday to Friday: 8am to 4.30pm
- Saturday and Sunday: 9am to 5pm
- bank holidays: 9am to 5pm
Demand at our sites is often high, so when you visit:
- only queue on the smaller access roads leading to the tips, not the major approach roads
- be aware we may close the main gates up to 45 minutes before the published closing time, to clear vehicles already queuing on site
- make sure you know what we can and can't accept at the sites
- make sure you know how to access the sites, the restrictions in place and the documents you need to bring
