Christmas 2024 waste and recycling collections announced
Details of waste and recycling collections in Birmingham over the Christmas and new year period have been announced.
There will be no collections on Christmas Day or Boxing Day.
Details of rescheduled collection days can be found here.
Cllr Majid Mahmood, Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport, said: “As always when making arrangements for waste collection over Christmas and the new year we try to find a balance between providing a service and ensuring that our hardworking crews get time with their families and loved ones.
"Traditionally crews have never worked Christmas Day or Boxing Day, but this year there will be a collection on New Year’s Day. However, residents’ usual collection days may be different if they fall on any of the bank holidays, including New Year’s Day, so please check our website to see if it has changed.
"As is always the case during this time, reasonable amounts of side waste (2 to 3 sacks per household) will be collected on general waste days, along with neatly bundled cardboard on recycling days. Additionally, the city’s network of Household Recycling Centres will be open every day except for Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Please book a slot before going. I would urge everyone to check out what is scheduled for them over the holiday period.”
