Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Warwick and Stratford-on-Avon announced a temporary halt to doorstep textile recycling from 1 April 2026 after their contractor, the Salvation Army, withdrew clothing banks from council depots. The councils cited difficult market conditions and rising costs, and said they were seeking a sustainable replacement. Residents were encouraged to donate usable items or try local repair cafés rather than put textiles in household recycling bins. Textiles cannot be processed at the shared Sherbourne recycling facility. Separately, August BBC reporting described a county-wide fridge-disposal backlog, with Warwickshire County Council warning of limited specialist processing capacity.
