Adur & Worthing Council Services

Street cleansing and street sweeping

The Street cleansing and street sweeping service is run by Adur & Worthing Council Services (AWS).

Each street is assessed and then placed on a regular rota basis, as deemed appropriate.

Please also see our deep cleansing schedule for Autumn/Winter 2011/12

Report a problem

You can contact us to report an area you feel needs cleaning, for example : overflowing or broken litter or dog bins, litter or rubbish in the street, problems with dog fouling, etc.

Street Sweeping

Adur and Worthing Council Services carry out street sweeping in Worthing.  The sweeping regime is dependent on pedestrian traffic, proximity to shops and fast food outlets etc.  Every street and some passageways in Worthing have a minimum of a fortnightly sweep, although heavily trafficked areas may receive as many as 3 or 4 daily particularly in the town centre.

Please note that certain footpaths, rear access-ways, privately owned land and shop fronts that do not form part of the public highway are not the Council’s responsibility and do not form part of the cleansing regime.

If you find a problem with street litter or dumped material, please Contact Us as soon as possible so that a crew can be sent out to deal with it.

Market Cleansing

Responsibility for cleaning after the regular markets in Worthing rests with the stallholders themselves.  Any rubbish remaining after the market should be placed in bins provided and these are emptied by the Council at 7pm on the day of the market.

Complaints regarding the market should be directed to the Town Centre Manager on 01903 203252.
