Hastings collects household rubbish either in twin bins or, in some areas, as a weekly bag or seagull-proof sack. Recycling goes in a green bin, loose, or in pink sacks where those are issued. Garden waste is a paid brown bin at £85 for 12 months, collected every two weeks. Weekly food collections are required, and the food page does not publish a contents list.

Hastings collects food waste every week. Hastings says every council in England now has to carry out weekly food waste collections, and that food waste makes up about 30% of the average household waste bin. The food page tells you to put the outside container out by 7am, or by 6am where that earlier time is already required. It does not list what the caddy takes or what to leave out, so no food contents list is written here.

Garden waste is a paid-for service. The garden waste service costs £85 for a 12 month subscription. Membership begins when the brown bin arrives. The application takes the £85 for the current year and sets up a direct debit for later years. An invoice and the updated terms go out at least 10 working days before the direct debit is taken. Payments are collected on or around the 1st of the month at renewal. No other form of payment is accepted. The bin is a 240 litre wheeled brown bin, collected every two weeks, and not necessarily at the same time as rubbish or recycling. A small number of properties are not suitable because of access. The bin is collected from the front, on the path next to the highway the vehicle uses. Cancelling the direct debit ends the subscription and collections stop.

For a missed food collection, check the postcode lookup first. The food page says you need to tell the council on the collection day or by close of business the next working day. The online form is open from 8pm on the day of collection until 5pm the next working day. The outside container should have been out by 7am, or by 6am where that earlier time is already required. The household waste section has its own missed-collection form. That page is not used for a deadline here. Report a missed food collection from 8pm on collection day until 5pm the next working day.
