WHEN it comes to plastic recycling – Warwick District Council is a trailblazer. It is the first council in the county to collect plastic packaging from all households in the district for recycling. Once collected, the waste goes to Sherbourne Recycling, a materials recycling facility in Coventry and goes through a sorting process using the latest AI robotic equipment to separate the ‘commingled’ collections. This has been a great step forward for everyone in the district in recycling plastic. Warwick District Council’s overall waste percentage has decreased by 5.7 per cent.”
