Update on waste and recycling collections 12 June

Following an incident at the Dudley Energy from Waste Facility at our Lister Road depot on 10 June 2026, some waste and recycling services have been and will continue to be affected over the next 7 to 9 days.

Our crews will be working over the weekend to manage the situation; however, disruption is expected to continue into next week as we work hard to catch up.

If we have been unable to carry out your collection on the scheduled day please leave at kerbside and we will collect them as soon as possible, in most instances we will aim for this to be the following day.

Thank you.
