Mini Recycling Centres
Throughout Solihull there are 30 mini recycling centres (MRC). The facilities at each vary dependant upon size, location, and access.
They are cleansed 3 times a week and if necessary daily on busy sites.

Solihull Fire Station
Starting in January next year, Solihull Fire Station will be completely refurbished. The Station will be out of action for about 6 months while the work is completed and the crews will be working from portacabins. It will therefore be necessary to suspend the recycling area for the duration of the works. At the moment we expect this to be from January to July. The bins will need to be removed from site completely for this time.
Part of the refurbishment includes making even better provision for the recycling area, in particular separating pedestrians.
