Types of waste

Trade, business, commercial and DIY waste that you would pay to dispose of can be taken to Princes Drive (https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/recyclingprincesdrive) and Hunters Lane (https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/recyclinghunterslane) and you do not need to book if youpay by weight (https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/commercialwaste) at the weighbridge or have a trade recycling permit. (Pay by Card only. A valid waste carriers licence number is needed if you are carrying waste that is not from your own house.)

Waste and recycling must be sorted in advance to reduce waste to landfill and to allow for efficient deposit in the correct container. Recyclable household packaging will not be accepted in the residual waste and should be recycled at the kerbside. Waste in wheelie bins cannot be accepted.
