Sussex council tip rules
East Sussex
Bonded asbestos is accepted at four recycling sites only: Eastbourne, Hastings, Heathfield and Newhaven. The council asks for a booked time slot, applies a charge and caps how much a household can bring each month. It must be double bagged and sealed, or wrapped in plastic and sealed. Asbestos water tanks are not accepted.
West Sussex
Only cement-bonded asbestos is accepted at the council's recycling centres, and only at Burgess Hill, Chichester, Crawley and Worthing. The limit is 200kg, and the asbestos must be double wrapped or bagged in clear polythene and sealed with tape.
Brighton & Hove
The city council accepts bonded asbestos at its Hove recycling site but not at the Brighton site. A bag limit applies, the bags must be wrapped twice, and two pieces of ID are required. Full details are on the Brighton & Hove page.
Larger jobs
All three councils limit what a household can bring. For a complete roof or garage, we carry out the removal and collect the material for disposal.

Sussex questions
Which council rules apply to me in Sussex?
It depends on the address. East Sussex and West Sussex are run by their county councils, and Brighton and Hove has its own city council. Each council decides what its recycling sites accept, so check with the council for your address.
Do the West Sussex recycling centres take all asbestos?
No. The council accepts cement-bonded asbestos only, at four named centres. A photo gives an initial view of which type you have, and a test confirms it.
Does East Sussex collect asbestos from the house?
The council's asbestos rules cover drop-off at four recycling sites and do not mention a collection. Check with East Sussex County Council, or arrange a collection with us.
