Residents in Birmingham are being reminded of this year’s Christmas waste collection arrangements:
There will be no collections of refuse or recycling on Christmas Day (Monday 25 December) and Boxing Day (Tuesday 26 December).
That means anyone with collections on those days will have their household bins picked up one week later and their recycling bins will be collected two weeks later.
All other collections remain unchanged, including Bank Holiday Monday 1st January 2018.
It is recognised during the festive period that many households produce more waste, but much of this additional rubbish can be reused or recycled. Please take extra care to use your bins correctly.
For those with wheelie bins, on their next scheduled collection after the 27th December 2017 only, reasonable amounts of household waste will be collected if presented in bags at the side of the bins, and any excess recycling will also be collected providing it is tied and left securely at the side of your recycling bin.
If anyone needs to dispose of large quantities of waste or recycling between their scheduled collections, they should take it to one of the five Household Recycling Centres:
Tameside Drive, Castle Bromwich, B35 7AG
Lifford Lane, Kings Norton, B30 3JJ
Holford Drive, Perry Barr, B42 2TU
Norris Way, Sutton Coldfield, B75 7BB
James Road, Tyseley, B11 2BA
Opening hours: Weekdays 8AM – 6PM & Weekends 8AM – 4:30PM (except on Christmas Day and Boxing Day).
