Your Questions About Private Bin Collection in Chichester

It’s not just a local whim. The council is responding to the government's 'Simpler Recycling' rules and the Environment Act 2021. The goal is to boost recycling rates across West Sussex. By introducing weekly food waste collections from Spring 2026, they hope to reduce what goes into the black bins. We support the recycling push 100%. But we also know that for a family of four in Summersdale or a shared house in Parklands, 'hope' doesn't stop the general waste bin from overflowing.

The big headline is the new weekly food waste service. You'll get a grey and orange outdoor caddy for your scraps, which will be collected every week. However, general waste (your black bin) will remain on a strict fortnightly schedule. For many households, removing food waste helps—but it doesn't solve the volume problem of packaging, non-recyclable plastics, and general clutter.

No. Chichester District Council is doing exactly what the government requires. They have a massive job servicing 30,000+ people from Selsey to Midhurst. But mass-market services have to work for the 'average' household. If you produce more waste than average—due to kids, pets, or work—you fall into the gap. That’s where we step in. We aren't here to replace the council; we're here to finish the job they can't do.

Less than a coffee and a croissant on East Street. Pricing depends on how many bags you need collected, but most households pay a small weekly fee that guarantees a clear driveway. We don't hide our prices—check our pricing page for the exact tiers.

No. We hate long contracts as much as you do. You can cancel anytime with just 30 days' notice. We want you to stay because our service is brilliant, not because you're trapped in fine print. Some customers only use us for a few months during summer or over Christmas—that's fine by us.

You shouldn't—if the council service works for you. If your bins are never full and you never have to do a 'bin jump' to squash rubbish down, don't hire us. But if you value the peace of mind of an empty bin, the price is a small premium for a service that restores order to your home. Think of it like a cleaner or a window washer—you pay for the convenience.
