New, Bigger Bins For Worthing Seafront

Forty-seven new bins are going to be installed along Worthing's seafront.

While the majority of the old bins which have been removed were able to take 90 litres of litter each, the new ones can take 240 litres - increasing the litter capacity by almost 9,000 litres.

They cost the Council just over £34,000.

The bins will be placed from the east end of Splash Point to Heene Road.

Two of the 47 are for recycling, and join the six double metal recycling bins that were installed last month on the promenade, taking the overall total to 53.

A total of 27 black bins have been installed so far, with the rest due to be put in place over the coming weeks. More than 30 small black bins were removed, ready to be replaced by the new ones.

Cllr Edward Crouch, Worthing’s Executive Member for Digital and Environmental Services, said:

“Our old bins served the town well, but many were past their best and too small for the footfall Worthing now enjoys. 

“We have added 8,880 litres of extra capacity between Splash Point and Heene Road and hope that this will help reduce waste being left next to bins that have become full. 

“By investing in these larger capacity, modern bins, we can help tackle the issues associated with littering in our town, while providing bin-frastructure that is fit for the future - ensuring our key promenade area stays clean and tidy on even the busiest of Bank Holiday weekends.”

“Our bins are emptied up to seven times per day during the peak season and I pay tribute to our hard working waste crews keeping our town clean and tidy.”
