There may be short delays while we empty containers during opening hours.
Brighton recycling site

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
