Recycling and waste collections

Here’s what you need to know following disrupted collections over the past two weeks, due to the weather and the additional waste and recycling generated at Christmas and New Year:

Thursday/Friday missed black bins (general waste)

  • We will not be returning to collect any missed black bin collections from Thursday 8/Friday 9 January.
  • Instead, due to the additional waste generated at this time of year, on your next collection day, you can put out up to 3 extra bags (applies to Thursday and Friday collection days only).

Recycling

  • Missed collection last week? Crews will return this week to clear the backlog.
  • Leave your blue and green bags and black box at the kerbside.

Services aim to return to normal from Monday 19 January.

Housing repairs

We are prioritising emergency repairs to ensure the safety of our residents. If your call is not urgent please log your issue online at MyDudley. Thank you for your understanding.

Trees

We are prioritising trees which are obstructing the highways and footways. If the tree has fallen and is on the ground, you can report this and we will attend as soon as resources are available. Please note if the tree has hazard tape attached, or around the location, you do not need to report this.
