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.

Council bosses are urging businesses to apply for a temporary licence to extend their outdoor space by placing furniture on the pavement, after just seven came forward.

The successful appointments system for the Stourbridge tip has been replaced with a new upgraded platform following thousands of bookings made since its launch.

Borough residents can enjoy two additional green waste collections during November and December, thanks to an expansion of the service.

Dudley Council and Recycle Now are asking residents to ‘Step It Up’ in the fight against climate change through better recycling habits.

Residents and businesses are invited to have their say on two licensing policies which are due for review.

With restrictions set to lift next week, Dudley Council is continuing its booking system for the tip over the summer.
