Monday 18th Jan saw our refuse and recycling collections return to normal. Collections will return to your usual collection day and schedule this week. If you are unsure if your refuse or recycling is to be collected, please refer to Rother District Councils website http://www.rother.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=4954

Garden waste collections are suspended until week commencing 1st February, due to the vehicles being used to assist with the catch up of collections which were cancelled due to the severe weather conditions.

Please note Clinical waste collections are operating as usual. We thank you for being patient through this difficult operational period and apologise for any inconvenience which may have been caused.

Due to the weather conditions still causing havoc in Rother, collections have been suspended today Friday 8th January and tomorrow Saturday 9th January.   

For the time being it has been agreed that 6 refuse lorry’s will be placed in static positions as follows for areas covered by todays work (Friday 8th):

• Turkey Road – Opposite the Rose and Crown
• Sidley High Street – By Recycling Car Park
• West Parade (De La Warr Pavilion – Richmond Road) – Opposite the Clock Tower
• East Parade (De La Warr – Galley Hill) – By Public Toilets
• Cooden Sea Road – By Railway Station
• Pear tree Lane – In Cowdray Park Road (By shop)

Residents are welcome to bring their waste to these collection points.

These vehicles will be in situ from 08:30 to 12:00 unless the weather conditions deteriorate. Our vehicles will not be moving from these points to collect from any other road under any circumstance, as the normal collections are suspended.

For latest information please refer to Rother District Councils website http://www.rother.gov.uk/

As the weather is still being unpredictable and the snow and ice has created dangerous road conditions, we have had to suspended all catch up collections across Rother tomorrow Saturday 9th January.

 Tomorrow we will again have 6 refuse lorry’s placed in static positions where residents will be able to bring their wheelie bins to dispose of their refuse, the locations of the Vehicles will be:

• Holliers Hill – By Chantry Avenue
• Seabourne Rd- By the Co-op
• Gunter’s Lane- By Bexhill High Scholl
• Town Hall Square- Car park 
• Dorset Road – By Links Drive
• London Road – Verdant depot

These vehicles will be in situ from 08:00 to 14:00 unless the weather conditions deteriorate. Our vehicles will not be moving from these points to collect from any other road under any circumstance, as the normal collections are suspended.

Week commencing 11th January only – we will be providing all residents with a refuse collection regardless if it should be your refuse or recycling collection. Please present your refuse wheelie bin for collection. We are doing this as we are aware some residents have missed out on a refuse collection due to the bank holiday changes and the severe weather conditions which we have experienced this week.

 All collections will return to normal week commencing Monday 18th January- obviously this is weather permitting!

This week has seen Rother experiencing adverse weather conditions.  Due to the snow and ice creating dangerous road conditions, refuse and recycling collections were suspended today (Thursday). We will be returning as soon as conditions have improved for our vehicles to gain access safely. If your wheelie bin or recycling boxes aren’t collected on the specified day due to the weather please leave them out at the collection point and the crews will collect them as soon as possible.
