Waste and population in Eastbourne

Eastbourne Borough Council serves a population of around 105,000 people across the seaside town of Eastbourne on the south coast of England. The area is known for its coastal location, retirement communities, and strong tourism appeal.

The borough generates tens of thousands of tonnes of household waste each year, typically in the region of 40,000–55,000 tonnes across general refuse, recycling, and garden waste collections. Waste levels reflect both the resident population and seasonal visitor activity.

Waste output is influenced by tourism, particularly during the summer months when visitor numbers increase significantly. The town’s older population profile and high proportion of flats also shape waste patterns, with a mix of communal and individual collection systems in use.
