Please try to reduce your waste as much as you can and fully use your kerbside service.

Types of waste

The booking system is for household waste (general household waste or garden waste or recycling).

Trade, business, commercial and DIY waste that you would pay to dispose of can be taken to Princes Drive and Hunters Lane and you do not need to book if you pay by weight at the weighbridge or have a trade recycling permit. (Pay by Card only. A valid waste carriers licence number is needed if you are carrying waste that is not from your own house.)

Waste and recycling must be sorted in advance to reduce waste to landfill and to allow for efficient deposit in the correct container. Recyclable household packaging will not be accepted in the residual waste and should be recycled at the kerbside. Waste in wheelie bins cannot be accepted.

The council will make every effort to make available all recycling streams, however there may be changes to materials and site layout. We apologise that, at this time, the following cannot be accepted for recycling:

Plasterboard
Tetrapak and engine oil
Sofas, armchairs and upholstered domestic seating

Tetrapak can go in your kerbside recycling and engine oil can be recycled at Burton Farm Recycling Centre in Stratford-upon-Avon or Princes Drive Recycling centre in Leamington Spa.

Please offer sofas for re-use where possible. Those not suitable for re-use will be accepted at Burton Farm Recycling Centre in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Limits on restricted materials will be enforced – 3 bags of rubble or soil.
