C.R.O.W.N (Composting and Recycling our Waste Now)
CROWN is a segregated waste collection service which has been in operation since June 1998. This service now covers over 21,500 properties in the main towns within the Wealden district. In order to simplify our collection service we aim to move all residents currently on the CROWN service over to our CROWN Caddy scheme, during early 2011.
CROWN allows residents to compost and recycle a wide range of materials.
