Waste Collection Services

Collection Days

If you are one of the 92% of properties on alternate weekly collections, please go to the online calendar at  www.redditchbc.gov.uk/waste

For properties not yet on alternate weekly collections please contact us (on 534123 or 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.
