Household waste collection service
All remaining waste, after you have taken out your recycling, goes in your household waste collection
We will collect your household waste every week. Please use our collection day schedule to see what day your household waste is collected.
What can you put in your Household Waste Collection?
Yes Please:
- All remaining waste, after you have taken out your recycling
No thanks:
- Bulky items - a separate bulky waste collection service is available
- Garden waste - this should go in your green wheelie bin
- Paint - a facility is provided at Bickenhill Household Waste Recycling Centre to dispose of and recycle paint
- DIY items such as rubble, bricks, boards and wood - these items can be disposed of at the Bickenhill Household Waste Recycling Centre
What do I have to do on the day of my collection?
Please put your black wheelie bin out by 7.00am on the day of collection at the edge of your property (where it meets the pavement). If your home doesn't front directly onto the pavement or you live on a private drive, please place your bin where your boundary meets the pavement.
Assisted Collection Service
We have an Assisted Collection Service for residents who are unable to place their wheelie bins and recycling boxes and sack out for collection due to infirmity or disability.
Black Wheelie Bins
Deliveries of black wheelie bins are now complete. Those properties not suitable for wheelie bins will have received purple sacks.
Read the Black Wheelie Bin Frequently Asked Questions page for more information.
