Refuse Collection

A grey wheeled bin is provided to residents in the district for the collection of refuse, that is general waste that cannot be recycled or composted.

For properties, such as flats and some terraced houses, black sacks are provided in place of grey wheeled bins (a maximum of 3 sacks will be collected per collection).

Real Nappies

The Council encourages the use of real nappies, even if you are not able to switch completely any reduction in the number of disposable nappies in your Grey Bin will be a help.

If you would like more information or support with using Real Nappies, please visit the Go Real website or phone 0845 850 0606.

What happens to your refuse (general waste)?

Currently, refuse collected from households in the district is either taken to a landfill site in Bubbenhall or an Energy from Waste facility at Coventry.

We are working hard to reduce this sort of waste. You can help us by putting all recyclable and compostable materials in one of your other bins.

As well as the environmental benefits, minimising waste sent to landfill can save council taxpayers millions of pounds each year.

Project Transform

Project Transform is a partnership between Coventry City Council, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council and Warwickshire County Council. The Partners are working together to develop sustainable waste management solutions. A key part of this work is the development of a new waste treatment facility, which will treat waste that cannot be usefully reused or recycled.

Why can't we keep sending waste to landfill?

In the past, there was an abundance of space in landfill sites in the UK (and in Warwickshire) and landfill has been a cheap and convenient way of managing waste.

However, by sending waste materials to landfill we are limiting the potential for reuse, recycling and
recovery of valuable resources.

As well as our social and environmental responsibility to move away from landfilling, we are also running out of landfill space. In addition, Government Landfill Tax is rising so steeply that it is no longer an affordable option and tough targets by the government and the EU to divert waste from landfill mean we must develop other waste treatment and disposal options.
