Bins and recycling

As a business owner it is your responsibility to keep waste to a minimum. You should be doing everything you can to prevent, reuse or recycle your commercial waste.

Business waste can be from any commercial activity, even if you only use part of your home for your business. However the waste from this part of your home cannot be disposed of with your normal household collections. It will also not be accepted at our Household Waste Recycling Centres. You must request an authorised service to collect and dispose of your business waste responsibly.

As of 1 April 2025, the Council will no longer be offering a business or commercial waste collection service. 

You must therefore pay for your waste to be removed from your premises by a licensed waste carrier.  Contractors will collect and dispose of your waste and recycling, but they will vary in terms of costs, what they collect, the area they cover and the recycling and disposal options they can offer.

The Household Waste and Recycling Centre in Stourbridge is operating a booking system for Dudley borough residents only. The service should only be used if no alternative arrangements can be made for safe storage.

There is extremely high demand for this facility and we ask you to be patient as in the short term we are offering a limited capacity per hour.

If you are unable to attend your appointment - please notify us. It is important you let us know as we will be able to offer cancelled appointments to other residents.

Please note, anyone who arrives at the site without a slot will be turned away.

To find out more, including how to book, visit our household waste recycling centre page.
