Councillor Deborah Urquhart, West Sussex County Council cabinet member for environment and climate change, said: "Ensuring our residents can recycle as much as possible in a cost-effective way is an important element of our council plan.

"As we approach springtime and warmer weather our recycling centres are usually at their busiest. To help accommodate this, we are providing longer opening hours to give residents more opportunity to visit the sites.

"An added benefit of our ‘book to recycle’ system means residents will be able to easily see when their local site is open when making an appointment."

Visits to the recycling sites would be booked at www.westsussex.gov.uk/BookToRecycle or by phoning 01243 642106.
