Schedule Changes

Today – All recycling centres will close at 1pm. Sites that typically observe late opening hours on Wednesdays will reopen at 3pm and close at 6.15pm as normal.




Exception - The Shipston recycling centre does not operate on late opening hours and will remain closed for the rest of the day after 1pm.

Thursday – All recycling centres will close at 1pm for the remainder of the day.


Warwickshire County Council expects all sites to return to their normal operating hours starting Friday. Residents are sadvised to check the latest information and site statuses before travelling by visiting the official recycling centres page www.warwickshire.gov.uk/recycling-centres

WCC appreciated the temporary closures may cause some inconvenience and thanked residents for their understanding and cooperation.
