Green box or bag collections

We work in partnership with Community Recycling Venture (CRV) to provide weekly green box or green bag recycling collections to some households.
If you do not know which recycling collection operates in your area please call Contact Sandwell on 0845 359 7501 or email contact@sandwell.gov.uk

Blue lid wheeled bin recycling collections

Households in some areas of the borough have had their green box or green bag recycling collection replaced with the blue lid wheeled bin recycling collection, enabling them to recycle a wider range of materials from home, including plastic and cardboard.

Garden waste wheeled bin collections

Households with gardens are provided with the free fortnightly garden waste wheeled bin collection - exceptions apply to households that are hard to gain access to.

Garden waste can also be composted at home.

Clothes and shoes collections

CRV carry out collections of clothes, pairs of shoes, blankets, sheets and curtains from households across the borough.
To arrange for a textiles collection please contact CRV on 0121 557 3439 or email crvltd@aol.com

Bulky items collections

Bulky items such as furniture and electrical appliances that are in good condition and working order will be collected free of charge by Community Furniture Service - call them on 0121 520 8168 to arrange a collection.

You can arrange for the council to collect bulky items - go to the bulky collection page for more information.
