Same day bookings are now available at Kenilworth's Cherry Orchard recycling centre.

However, appointments must actually be booked before 7.30am on the day.

The news follows Warwickshire County Council's recent announcement that up to 5,000 more time lots would be available countywide each week.

With 21,000 slots available across Warwickshire every seven days, each day's appointments are now released a week in advance for all nine centres.

Although regulations have eased and social distancing and wearing face coverings are no longer legally required, WCC is asking visitors to continue to respect other people on site and allow each other space.

Portfolio holder for environment, climate and culture Cllr Heather Timms said: "I would like to thank all our visitors for separating their waste streams for recycling as they pack their cars. Recycling all that you can at home and at the recycling centre is one easy way for householders to cut their carbon emissions and help the environment.

"How we have organised our recycling centres during the pandemic has earned us national recognition. Much of this success has been down to our customers and the respect they have shown to each other when attending the centres."
