Press Release
Published on 10 December 2025
Stratford-on-Avon District Council is delighted to announce that residents using the Council's mobile app have helped raise an incredible £1,000, which has been donated to the Chair's chosen charity: Eco Work-Shop CIC.
The scheme was made available through Biffa Waste Services Ltd, the Council's waste and recycling collection contractor, with a donation of 10p being made to the Chair's Charity each time a search was made via the Recycling Info feature on how to recycle a household item or material.
Thanks to your efforts, this milestone demonstrates the power of community action. Every item recycled through the app has contributed to this fantastic achievement.
Cllr Kate Rolfe, Chair of Stratford-on-Avon District Council, said: "This is a wonderful example of how small actions can make a big difference. Thank you to everyone who has used the app and supported recycling in our district. Thank you to Biffa, who have made the donation to Eco Work-Shop CIC possible. The work they do providing purposeful work activities for adults with learning disabilities and autism is invaluable. Your commitment not only benefits the environment but also helps a worthy cause."
As well as recycling information, the Council's mobile app offers information on waste collection days, reminders, reporting a missed bin, news and much more!
