Thanks to our partnership with ReAP UK, most beach litter can be recycled.

​

  • Rope & net

  • Rubber, including strips from lobster pots, goggles & snorkelling / diving masks, shoe soles, tennis and golf balls

  • Plastic - both hard and soft

  • Polystyrene

  • Fishing line, tackle and weights

  • Scrap metal

  • Vapes

  • Batteries

  • Whole aluminium cans

  • Dog toys

  • Crisp packets

​

All rubbish is sorted before collection. You can either drop your rubbish at an address which can be emailed to you or ask for a collection. Remember, fishing line, tackle and weights can also be disposed of in one of our Pipe Bins.

​

What happens to our beach litter afterwards?

​

  • Fishing line, tackle and weights are collected by Anglers National Line Recycling Scheme.

  • We clean all dog toys and donate them to RSPCA Mount Noddy in Eartham.

  • Vapes and batteries are dropped at one of the many recycling points around Selsey (including Co-op and Asda)

  • Whole aluminium cans are collected by Sidlesham Litter Pickers and scrapped for money which is then donated to St. Wilfrid’s Hospice.

  • ReAP UK partner with ReFactory and take the rest.

  • ReFactory specialise in making new products from material usually destined for waste.
