Chichester will close on Tuesdays and Burgess Hill, Worthing, and Crawley will close on Thursdays.

Deborah Urquhart, West Sussex County Council’s cabinet member for environment, said: “We reduce the opening hours at our Household Waste Recycling Sites every year during the winter months when the demand is lower.

“This means we can keep the sites open for longer hours over the summer months when demand is much higher.”

Householders who drive a commercial-type vehicle are also being reminded to obtain a free permit before visiting the HWRSs.

The permits are designed to help address congestion at the sites and eliminate illegal disposal of commercial waste.
