Waste collection in Brighton
WEDNESDAY Our van is in the BN postcodes every Wednesday. Book it while it's passing.
Next Wednesdays:
Brighton and Hove recycled around 27 percent of household waste in the latest confirmed year, one of the lower rates in England against a national average of 44, and the city runs only two household waste recycling sites, Wilson Avenue and Old Shoreham Road, for a population of more than 230,000. Regency terraces and the tight lanes behind the seafront mean plenty of flats with no drive, no lift and nowhere to leave a wardrobe on the pavement. Our Wednesday route covers the whole BN area, the same day as the rest of the South East loop.
Brighton has one WasteSpeed day a week: Wednesday. That is not a promise of "sometime Wednesday-ish", it is how the whole company works. One national loop, the same van in the same area on the same day, which is why the £199 visit price is the same here as everywhere else on the loop, no rural surcharge, no big city premium, because the mileage is already shared.
England recycles around 44 percent of household waste, a figure that has barely moved in a decade. The gap is not technology, it is logistics: bulky items do not fit recycling bins, so sofas and appliances end up landfilled while their timber, steel and foam are wanted by processors. A collected load, sorted properly, is how those numbers move.

Brighton questions
What day do you collect in Brighton (BN postcodes)?
Every Wednesday. It is a fixed route day, the same every week, which is what keeps the prices fixed too. Type your postcode on the booking page and it shows the next available Wednesdays.
How much does waste collection cost in Brighton?
The same as everywhere on the loop: a £199 visit covers a single item in full, extra items are £20 each, van loads run £229 to £389, and pianos are £199. That includes the two person crew, all loading, transport, disposal fees and VAT. Secure online payment when you book is what confirms the slot.
Do you really cover all BN postcodes?
Yes, the whole BN area is on the Wednesday route, town and rural alike, at the same fixed prices. If two people can carry it, book it in.
Where does it go after collection?
Loads from the Wed route are sorted at the depot: reuse first, then metal, timber, WEEE and green-waste recycling streams, energy recovery for the rest, landfill last. England recycles around 44 percent of household waste, a figure that has barely moved in a decade. You get photo confirmation when it's done.
