Coventry has an energy from waste incinerator which burns rubbish from both Coventry and Solihull, producing electricity for the National Grid and some hot water that is used locally through the Heatline project.
Rubbish is still put into landfill.

Many areas of Coventry have kerb-side plastic, metal (tins and cans), and paper recycling.
Garden-green rubbish is collected and composted.

Waste materials can be taken to the recycling depot, which is adjacent to the incineration unit.

There are recycling points throughout the city for paper, glass recycling and metal / tin can recycling.

In October 2006, Coventry City Council signed the Nottingham Declaration, joining 130 other UK councils in committing to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of the council and to help the local community do the same.
