Applications open for new garden waste permit

Residents who wish to have their garden waste collected can now apply for a permit under a new subscription scheme which has been introduced by Warwick District Council.

From 1 August 2022 households who would like to have their grass cuttings, weeds, leaves or branches removed from their green wheeled bin will need to have registered and paid a fee to the Council in order to receive their permit.

The cost of the new fortnightly service from 1 August 2022 to 31 March 2023 is £20, with a revised annual fee (to be confirmed) applicable from April 2023.

Applications for Garden Waste permits (which will be valid from 1 August 2022) can be made by visiting https://www.warwickdc.gov.uk/gardenwaste.

A new South Warwickshire 123+ refuse collection system starting from August will see the introduction of separate kerbside food waste collections every week in addition to a fortnightly co-mingled recycling service.

A full list of FAQs on the 123+ Waste and Recycling service is available on the Warwick District Council website.
