Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
North Warwickshire Council urged residents to recycle batteries, vapes and small electrical items safely after another bin-lorry fire in Hurley, in a September 2026 announcement. The council highlighted its kerbside collection service for disposing of these items safely. Earlier in the year, it announced new collection rounds affecting 80% of households from 23 February. Black-bin and red-bin weeks would alternate, while some subscribed garden-waste collections would change day. Residents were to receive letters listing their next three collections for each bin. Councillor Margaret Bell said the redesign aimed to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
