Household Waste Collection

Alternate weekly waste collections have been in place for the majority of the town since March 2007. Thanks to the efforts of residents the scheme has been a great success as we are now recycling twice as much as we used to - for example in 09/10 30% of all the waste created in Redditch was sent for recycling.

If you live in a flat, sheltered complex or do not yet have green boxes or bins, we will be rolling out this service and contacting you to best discuss how we can provide you with a kerbside recycling system. For residents who don't have a kerbside recycling collection there are various recycling bring sites all over Redditch where you can take your recyclables. Take me to the recycling centres page...

A new improved recycling system began in January 2010 and residents can now recycle more items in their green recycling bins including: cartons e.g juice and milk cartons, plastic containers e.g. yoghurt pots and margarine tubs, thick cardboard including corrugated cardboard. 

This is due to the opening of a new sorting facility in Norton, Worcestershire where all of the recycling collected in the green recycling bins is taken for sorting.  

Please check out the website http://www.envirosort.co.uk/ www for more information on the new items we will be collecting.
