As you may know there are bin strikes happening in Birmingham, with 12 days of industrial action planned across the next few months.

Birmingham City Council is advising households to continue to put their bins out on their normal collection day. And if they are not collected, to leave them out and they will be collected as soon as they can. 

There is lots of useful information on the Council’s website about the strikes at https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/info/20009/waste_and_recycling/3020/waste_and_recycling_industrial_action_-_faq_for_residents

Bin collections are a service provided by the Council and funded through Council Tax. We are not able to collect rubbish or empty bins during industrial action, but we will take action against fly-tipping on our land.

If you’re aware of fly-tipping, and have evidence of the perpetrators, please report this to us using the online form on our estates and stewardship page.
