Waste Collection Services
Click here to take you to the
Garden Waste Collection page
You can now recycle thick card, more
types of plastics and waxed cartons in
your green wheeled bins.
Your recycling is now being taken to a new facility near
Worcester called Envirosort.
Please look on the envirosort website for more details on where
your recycling goes. www.envirosort.co.uk
If you need a larger green bin or second green bin please
contact us on 01527 534123 or email us at contact.centre@redditchbc.gov.uk
Please be advised that residents are being asked if they want a
larger green bin in the first instance rather that 2 standard size
bins, due to possible space restrictions on the resident's
property, but our Contact Centre will be happy to discuss your
arrangements with you.
Collection Days
If you are one of the 97% of properties on alternate weekly
collections, please go to the online
calendar
For properties not yet on alternate weekly collections please
contact us (on 01527 534123 or email us at contact.centre@redditchbc.gov.uk
as your collection day/schedules are specific to your close/street
and as we are in the process rolling out recycling to all
properties and improving waste collection systems, this can be
subject to change.
