A SERIES of drop-in sessions is being held to allow people to find out more about potential sites for waste recycling and recovery.

The events are part of a consultation by East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and the South Downs National Park Authority on the area’s draft Waste and Minerals Sites Plan.

The plan, part of a strategy to virtually eradicate the need for landfill, identifies sites which could be suitable for recycling and recovery facilities in the future.
