Frequently Asked Questions
    • Some flats already have the collection service. However, because all flats are different, it’s a complicated process to arrange. We are currently rolling out the service to flats across all parts of the city and hope to have as many suitable housing blocks on board by 2010.

      If you have a management or residents’ committee and the majority of residents would like the service, we can consider arranging it for you.

      Just email us on recycling@birmingham.gov.uk or call 0121 303 1112 and we will come and look at your flats to see if we can arrange a collection service.

    • We have a dedicated contact centre that can offer a one-stop service; from missed collections to requests for new recycling boxes. Call 0121 303 1112.

      If you wish to speak to an Operational Manager direct, the contact centre staff will pass on a message and ask them to contact you.
