The Warwickshire recycling centres offer an array of opportunities to reuse and recycle your unwanted items. Preloved items for reuse can be donated to be resold for the benefit of local charities. No recycling centre in Warwickshire is currently accepting fridges, freezers or fridge freezers, due to a national issue with recycling capacity.
Cllr Darren Cheshire, Warwickshire County Council Portfolio Holder for Environment, Heritage and Culture, said: “Many of us will use the opportunity of a bank holiday weekend to have a good sort out in the house or garden. As a result, we are expecting busy sites this weekend.
“Following our recent customer engagement, we have reintroduced the booking system and the bank holiday will be when that shows its real value. We urge customers to use the system and keep things running smoothly."
