Festive timetable change for refuse collections in Warwick district

There will be no collections on Christmas day or Boxing Day and those whose collections take place on a Monday or Tuesday will have their bins emptied a day earlier.

Those whose collections take place on Wednesdays, Thursdays or Fridays will have their bins collected a day later.

Cllr Dave Shilton (Con, Kenilworth Abbey) the Warwick District Councillor responsible for policy on neighbourhood services, said: “Even though the recycling and rubbish collection teams are having a well-earned break on Christmas Day and Boxing Day they will be working over weekends to make sure everyone still gets a service.”

Recycling roadshows took place in Leamington, Warwick and Kenilworth this week where people could find out more about the Christmas collection timetable and swap plastic bags for eco-friendly carriers.

Recycled wrapping paper was also for sale.
