Hastings Household Waste Recycling Site is a dedicated facility for sorting and recycling various types of household waste. It operates without the need for advance booking, although a booking system is planned for introduction in the future. The site is open daily from 8 am to 5 pm, with potential early closure during busy periods to manage queues effectively.
Residents can dispose of a wide range of items including general household waste, garden waste, electrical goods, and more. Certain materials like bonded asbestos, hardcore, soil, plasterboard, and tyres are accepted but may incur charges. The site specifies limits on the quantity of such charged waste per household per month.
The facility does not accept trade or business waste and is inaccessible to pedestrians and cyclists. Only small DIY waste is accepted without charge, and residents are advised to hire a skip for larger quantities. Specific vehicle restrictions apply, including limits on the type of vehicles and the days they can access the site. Vans, for example, are only allowed on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and must comply with identification requirements.
