Warwickshire County Council has announced the temporary closure of all its recycling centres during the middle of the day on Wednesday 24 June and Thursday 25 June 2026.

Exception: The Shipston recycling centre does not operate on late opening hours and will remain closed for the rest of the day after 1:00 pm.
Thursday 25 June: All recycling centres will close at 1:00 pm for the remainder of the day.
