Residents in Warwick have been told when their bins will be collected this Christmas.

As in previous years, bin collections will move to different days over the festive period.

There will be no refuse, recycling or food waste collections on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year's Day.

Normal collections will resume on Monday 12 January 2026, Warwick District Council has confirmed.

No green bins will be collected between December 27 and January 8

Wrapping paper and Christmas cards can be recycled in blue-lidded bins, but foil and glittery paper cannot be, the council has said.

Those with extra recycling this winter can put out a sturdy container or red box and place it beside their blue-lidded wheeled bin.

Recycling Christmas trees

"We'll be collecting real Christmas trees from 9 to 23 January 2026, and you don't need to have a garden waste permit subscription to have yours collected," the council said.

"Please ensure that all lights and decorations have been removed from the tree. Any tree that is over 5ft tall must be cut in half.

"Leave your tree outside in a place that's not obstructing the highway, and we'll collect it for you.

"If you're subscribed to the garden waste service, you can chop it up and put it in your bin."
