'Live' bookings are now available to residents for slots at Kenilworth's recycling centre.

Same day appointments have been available at Cherry Orchard Recycling Centre since early August, but residents had to be online before 7.30am to get their space.

Now bookings can be made minutes before arrival, with slots available throughout the day.

This increased flexibility to book should mean it is easier than ever for householders to book a slot at a time that suits.

Booking is required for a 15 minute slot for a car and there are also 30 minute slots for a car and small trailer in Kenilworth.

Visitors can book online via www.warwickshire.gov.uk/hwrc and there is also an Eventbrite App that can be downloaded onto a smartphone or tablet for an alternative quick way to book.

Recycling centre winter opening hours are also now in operation.

The opening hours are 8.30am to 4.15pm weekends. Weekday opening hours are 9.30am to 3.15pm.

Cllr Heather Timms, portfolio holder for environment, climate and culture said: "We are pleased to offer householders an even more flexible and convenient way to book at visit to their local recycling centre.

"I want to thank householders in Warwickshire, who continue to separate out recycling at home and increase recycling rates."

Information about the recycling centres and booking can be found online here.
