Recycling Revolution Begins
By John Newton

Green recycling symbol

Restarting household recycling is a top priority of the new Birmingham City Council

This means rubbish and recycling collection will be alternated fortnightly, alongside weekly food waste collection

This new system started from 6th July across North Birmingham

The aim is to roll this out over the whole city by the end of 2026

This allows a more clear direction for waste: reduce, reuse, recycle, rot
