During the COVID-19 emergency Walsall Council is working hard to maintain key front line public services and, like many other businesses and service providers, we are facing challenges with self-isolation, government restrictions and impact on our staff.

With this in mind, we are prioritising the collection of grey and green household waste and recycling bins every two weeks. To ensure resources are available to maintain this priority service, garden waste (brown bin) and bulky household item collections have been suspended until further notice, and the Household Waste and Recycling Centres (tips) are closed to the public.

There are more than 116,500 households in the borough, and we are asking for everyone’s support at this difficult time to make services run as smoothly as possible. We all need to work together, adjust our behaviours and help each other in these unprecedented times. 

The decision has been taken to close the two Household Waste and Recycling Centres (tips) in Walsall.  Both Merchants Way in Aldridge and Fryers Road sites are closed until further notice following last night’s statement from the Government regarding COVID-19 (Coronavirus).  Please visit our website and social media channels for updates and information  www.walsall.gov.uk/bins

Walsall Council has taken essential measures to ensure that waste collection (grey bins) from households in the borough remains a priority during the current Coronavirus situation.  Garden waste collections were due to begin in early April but have been postponed to allow staff and service vehicles to support household waste collections across the borough.
