Recycling
Coventry City Council provides kerbside collections of garden waste and paper / cardboard.
If you do not have either a paper box or a brown-lidded bin please inform us by using the contact details at the foot of this page.
Recycling calendar
The recycling is collected on the same day as your household refuse bin. The paper box and garden waste bin are collected on alternate weeks.
