People urged to sign up for green bin service

The new service starts in February

People have been urged to sign up for next year's green bin service in the Nuneaton and Bedworth council area.

The green bins will take food and garden waste, but not general refuse or recyclable items.

The service continues to cost £40 per bin per year and people can sign up at any point throughout the year.

However, the council said those who signed up before 17 January would receive their permit sticker in time for the start of the service, which begins on 3 February and runs until mid-January 2026.

All the green waste collected is taken to a composting facility, the local authority said.

Organic waste is put through a heat process which biodegrades the waste and creates compost that will be distributed to local farmers.

Information including frequently asked questions is posted on the council's website.

Update 10 January 2025: We have updated this story to reflect that this is not a new service.
