What Does Private Bin Collection in Littlehampton Cost?

The "Fred's Fish & Chips" Calculation

Let’s be real. You don’t blink at paying £4.

70 to park at West Beach for a sunny afternoon. You likely drop £30+ on a family treat at Fred’s on Pier Road without thinking twice.

For **£25 a month**, we take away the one thing that causes you the most grief: the rubbish. That’s roughly £6.

70 a week—less than a coffee and a croissant at the East Beach Café—to never worry about maggoty bags, foxes, or that sinking feeling when you realise you missed bin day.

• Less than two Large Cod & Chips from Fred's (£23+)
• Cheaper than 4 weekend parking trips to the seafront
• About the cost of one cinema ticket and snacks at The Windmill

Common Questions About Pricing

Why should I pay when I already pay Council Tax?

Your council tax covers the standard fortnightly service, which is great for recycling but tough on general waste. Think of us like Amazon Prime or a Fast Track pass—you're paying a small amount to upgrade your life and remove a major inconvenience.

Why is the one-off collection £38?

Sending a 26-tonne refuse truck to a single address for a one-off stop is expensive in fuel and logistics. The real value is in the Family Plan (£25/month), where we're already in your area regularly, bringing the cost down massively.

Do I need to buy special bags?

No. We empty your standard wheelie bin. If you have extra loose bags that won't fit, we can take those too, but your main 240L bin is the core of the service. Just put it out the night before, and we handle the rest.

Is this actually legal?

100%. We are a fully licensed and insured. Your waste is disposed of responsibly, and we adhere to the same environmental standards as Arun District Council.
