Mid Sussex District Council offers a collection service for garden waste in either sacks or wheelie bins, at a cost of about £1 per week. There is currently a waiting list. See the council’s website for details.
There is a composting service for those who are able to transport their garden waste, at KPS Composting, located at Hardriding Farm in Pease Pottage, opposite the motorway service station. A charge will be made.
Rubbish and Recycling Depot
The nearest recycling and rubbish depot is on Metcalf Way in Crawley. It accepts almost all types of rubbish.

A refuse freighter is scheduled to appear in various locations within Slaugham parish, though not Pease Pottage. For dates and locations, see the Slaugham Parish Council website.
Fly Tipping
Some of the quieter roads within Pease Pottage are often used as ad hoc rubbish tips. To report such behaviour, please contact Mid Sussex District Council.
