Waste and population in Crawley
Crawley Borough Council serves a population of around 120,000 people across the town of Crawley in West Sussex. The area is a major economic hub, closely linked to Gatwick Airport, with a mix of residential neighbourhoods and commercial activity.
The borough generates a significant volume of household waste each year, typically in the region of 45,000–60,000 tonnes across general refuse, recycling, and garden waste collections. Waste levels reflect both the resident population and the influence of local employment and activity.
Waste output is shaped by a high proportion of planned neighbourhoods and mixed housing types, alongside the impact of airport-related employment. This creates steady waste generation with consistent demand across the borough throughout the year.
