Sustainable Henfield ask you to save some plastics which can’t be recycled in the blue-topped Council bins and take them to our recycling points in Henfield. We send them to Terracycle where the plastic is made into other products, and they send money to our chosen charity – Henfield Haven.

Who pays for the Recycling
We collect these waste streams via the Terracycle Free Recycling Programme. There are now over 45 brands, manufacturers and retailers who pay for their plastic waste to be sent and processed into plastic pellets. Below is a list of who pays for our recycling streams:
| Recycling Stream | Manufacturer/Brand/Retailer |
| Writing instruments | BiC |
| Makeup, tubes and beauty wipes | Burts Bees |
| Contact lenses, blister packs/foils | Acuvue |
Terracycle then pays a certain amount straight to Henfield Haven according to the weight sent. In November 2019, Terracycle reached the milestone of raising £1million for UK charities, schools and not-for-profit organisations. Our partner organisation ‘Recycling in Lancing’ has raised £50,000 over the last 14 years for local charities.
What sort of products from the recycled plastics?
The plastic is reduced in size by being shredded or ground, then melted and reformed into pellets, flakes or powder and sold to manufacturers to make other products.
Examples include: outdoor furniture and decking, plastic shipping pallets, watering cans, storage containers and bins, tubes for construction application, flooring tiles, playground surface covers and athletic fields, and many more.
Thank you for continuing to help us keep this plastic out of landfill
