Dudley Borough maintains one household waste recycling centre - the tip - for residents only who wish to dispose of their household waste.
When items come to the end of their useful life, it’s important to consider the various disposal options available. Most people recognise that recycling is better for the environment than simply burying rubbish in landfill sites. However, many of us fail to consider other options which might be even better for the environment, such as waste prevention or whether items could be reused.
In order to maximise recycling rates at the HWRC, it is suggested that householders sort all waste into the correct containers for recycling on site. Pre-sorting materials before visiting the site will make visits easier and quicker. Any items suitable for reuse should be handed to a site operative.
This site is a major recycling centre with facilities for recycling the following materials in addition to the deposit of general house/garden wastes:
Commercial waste is not accepted at the Birmingham Road site.
Height barriers are in operation at the site. The height barrier is set at 6'-6" (1.98 metres) at the entrance to the car park complex. Any vehicles above 6ft 6" will need to make an appointment, available on Wednesdays only.
Please note that the use of small trailers (maximum of 1.8 metres) will only be allowed at this site by prior appointment.
To minimise traffic congestion at the site it would be appreciated if users would segregate their waste into the suitable categories prior to visiting the site.
Dudley residents living in the North of the borough are able to use the Anchor lane recycling site.
Opening times:
If you use a car towing a trailer or a commercial type vehicle to dispose of your household waste at Dudley Council’s household waste recycling centre (HWRC) you will need to apply for our van and trailer permit.

Birmingham Street (A458) in Stourbridge.
