Kenilworth's recycling centre will remain open during the second national lockdown thanks to Warwickshire County Council's online booking system.

Recycling centres across the county, including Cherry Orchard in Kenilworth, will continue to be open for booked appointments from Thursday (November 5).

All nine sites are operating and slots can be booked, by following this link.

Appointments run from 9:30am to 3pm on weekdays and 8:30am to 4pm at weekends.

Booking is required for a 15 minutes slot for a car. Kenilworth's Cherry Orchard centre is also offering 30 minute slots for a car and small trailer on certain days - one of just three sites in the county to do so.

A broad range of materials can be deposited for recycling, including wood, scrap metal, garden waste and electrical items.

The overall recycling rate for June, July and August has risen 25% from the same period last year, thanks to visitors' extra efforts to recycle more and to help the environment.

Visitors are advised to check the website for the exact materials available at each site and to pre-sort waste when packing their car for an efficient visit.

It is important that residents do not visit the recycling centres if they have symptoms, have been tested positive for Covid and are self-isolating or have been advised to self-isolate due to being in contact with someone with Covid. Any contaminated waste, such as tissues or masks, should be double bagged and quarantined for 72 hours before disposal.

Cllr Heather Timms, portfolio holder for Environment and Heritage and Culture said, "The booking system that Warwickshire County Council has installed and developed for all of our recycling centres has allowed us to offer controlled, safe and socially distanced visits to the recycling centres since May.

"It has drawn national acclaim and has been replicated by other authorities across the country as a model of best practice."
