Garden Waste Service – Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much is it to sign up to the service? The annual charge is £47 per green bin.
2. Is this charge compulsory? No. The service will only be available to residents that register for the service. If you do not register and make the payment, your green bin will not be collected and there will be no charge to you. Therefore, if you do not have a garden or do not want to pay for the collections, you do not need to do anything.
3. What should I do with my food waste? You can place up to three food waste caddies for collection on your scheduled garden waste collection day. The food caddies will be available free of charge, on request.
4. Can I put the garden waste in my grey rubbish bin? No. 95% of the waste in the grey bin is taken to an energy from waste facility, they cannot accept garden waste at this plant. If there is garden waste in your grey bin, it will not be emptied. The collections crews will be monitoring bins for hidden garden waste and a thorough check will be made if evidence shows previous contamination.
5. Can I put garden waste in my blue-lidded recycling bin? No. The recycling in the blue-lidded bin is sorted at a materials recycling facility, they cannot accept garden waste at this plant. If there is garden waste in your blue-lidded bin, it will not be emptied. The collection crews will be monitoring bins for hidden garden waste and a thorough check will be made if evidence shows previous contamination.
6. Can I pay monthly or pay for a one-off collection? The annual charge is fixed for one year from 1st April to 31st March. The charge must be paid in full and there is no pro-rata rate available.
7. Can I put additional bags at the side of the bin? No. The charge is per green bin and only bins showing the official permits will be emptied, residents can have as many bins as required.

There is a booking system, with appointments becoming available the week before: visit https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/recyclingcentres
The booking system is in place to keep site visitors and staff safe.
To allow the maximum number of householders to have access to an essential visit, we are limiting bookings to one per fortnight per household.
This service is only for Warwickshire residents, so if you live outside of Warwickshire you will not be able to use it.
We are only accepting waste delivered in cars. Vans, pick-ups, trailers, bikes or walked-ins are not permitted. To book a car with trailer, go to www.warwickshire.gov.uk/hwrc
Please try to reduce your waste as much as you can and fully use your kerbside service.
A visit to the recycling centre will be a different experience because of the booking system and the need for social distancing. The staff will not be able to give physical help with waste. Only one person is allowed out of each car. Therefore you will need to be able to carry all items of waste on your own.
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.
Limits on restricted materials will be enforced – 3 bags of rubble or soil.
Contaminated waste (e.g. tissues or face masks) from a household with infection must be quarantined at home for at least 72 hours prior to visit and double bagged.
