Dudley Council Bin Collection Dates

Dudley Council serves approximately 130,000 households across the Dudley Metropolitan Borough, covering Dudley town centre, Stourbridge, Halesowen, Brierley Hill, Tipton, Sedgley and Kingswinford. General waste (grey wheelie bin) and recycling (blue bin) are collected on alternate fortnightly weeks — they are never collected on the same day. Check your schedule below to see which week applies to your address. Recycling in Dudley goes in the blue wheelie bin. Accepted materials include paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, tubs and trays, glass bottles and jars, food tins and drink cans. Some properties also receive a blue bag for extra recycling capacity. Rinse containers before placing them in the bin. Food waste is collected weekly in a small food caddy. All cooked and uncooked food waste is accepted, including meat, fish, dairy, bread, fruit and vegetable peelings. Garden waste is collected fortnightly under a paid annual subscription service, typically running from approximately March to November. Only properties that have subscribed will have their brown bin collected. Visit dudley.gov.uk to subscribe or check the current seasonal schedule. If your bin is missed, report it online at dudley.gov.uk or call 0300 555 2345. Bins should be placed at the kerb by 7 am on your collection day. Household Waste Recycling Centres are located at Stourbridge Road, Halesowen B63 3TT and Lunt Road, Brierley Hill DY5 1RL. Both sites are open seven days a week — check the council website for seasonal opening hours.
