♻️ FREE COMPOSTABLE FOOD WASTE LINERS! ♻️

We’ve received lots of rolls of compostable food waste liners from Wealden District Council, and we’re giving them away for FREE to Hellingly residents! 🌱

If you’d like a roll, simply pop into the Hellingly Community Hub office to collect yours.

📍 One free roll per household.

There are plenty available, so do pop in and grab yours! 😊

Don’t forget! You now need to book a slot before visiting a household waste recycling site.
The system helps to reduce queuing at peak times, as well as supporting fair access and preventing misuse of sites.

Book your next visit online or by calling 0345 60 80 194. Please note telephone bookings can only be made between 8.30am and 5pm Monday to Thursday and 8.30am to 4.30pm on Fridays.

Simply choose a time convenient for you – either on the same day, or up to two weeks in advance.

Supporting Our Community

At Hellingly Parish Council, we know that great communities don’t just happen — they’re built by people who care, get involved and make things happen!

Our local organisations, clubs, groups and community projects play a huge part in making Hellingly a vibrant, welcoming place to live, work and enjoy. From bringing people together to supporting local wellbeing, the contribution they make is valuable, visible and very much appreciated.

That’s why, each year, the Parish Council puts money aside in its budget to provide community grants to organisations that are making a positive difference locally.

If you’re helping Hellingly thrive, we want to help you keep the good stuff going! 🎉

Organisations may apply if:
• they are based in Hellingly; or
• their activities provide a clear benefit to people living in Hellingly.

We'd also like to set optional cookies to enable features like embedded videos and maps, collect anonymous statistics, and improve the overall experience.
