Dudley Council has outlined plans to apply for powers to enforce a range of driving offences in a bid to improve road safety, tackle congestion and improve air quality.

Dudley Council is looking to install more recycling bins across the borough, starting with borough parks.

Generous staff from Stourbridge Household Waste Recycling Centre have donated £1,000 to the Mayor of Dudley’s charities.

Residents are being offered the chance to make an early start on getting their gardens ready for spring – by booking three extra fortnightly green waste collections between February and March.

Waste and recycling collections will largely go ahead as normal over the festive period, with one small change for people due to put their bins out on Boxing Day.

Residents are being urged to check the paperwork of people offering to dispose of bulky waste from their homes to avoid a £250 fine and help tackle fly-tipping.

Now in its eighteenth year, Recycle Week, is the nation’s biggest annual celebration of recycling.

Dudley Council has added 100 extra slots to its weekly appointments and changes come into effect from today (Aug 1).

Residents making improvements to homes and gardens during the summer months are urged to use Dudley Council’s tip as figures reveal thousands of people are failing to keep appointments every month.

Kerbside garden collections have restarted – and residents with lots of green waste are being urged to get a second bin for their homes.

Dudley borough residents are advised to put their waste and recycling out on their normal collection day this year, as there will be no disruptions to service.

More than 500 households have taken up the offer of additional green waste collections this winter.
