How recycling fits into the Veolia waste strategy for the South Downs area

Recycling is a very important part of the strategy, as it allows us to extract materials from the waste stream and recover value from them.

Recycling is a very important part of the strategy, as it allows us to extract materials from the waste stream and recover value from them. Recyclables such as paper, card, cans and plastic bottles which we receive via kerbside collection schemes will be sorted at a materials recovery facility and sent for reprocessing into new products.

What you can do

Make use of your local kerbside recycling collection, deposit recyclables at your local Bring Banks and make use of your Household Waste Recycling Sites. Download our leaflet to find out more:
