Yes, you can report a missed recycling or garden waste collection in Birmingham. However, reporting for garden waste specifically has a separate process.
Here's how it works:
| Service | When to Report | How to Report |
|---|---|---|
| General Waste | After 1:30 PM on the collection day | Report a missed bin collection |
| Recycling Waste | Currently suspended during industrial action | Do not put out your recycling bin for collection until further notice |
| Garden Waste | Use a separate form for garden waste issues | You cannot report missed collections via the garden waste forms |
If your recycling or garden waste has been missed, it’s best to check whether the council is already aware of the issue before reporting it. Generally, leave your bins out for a couple of days after the missed collection day, and if it’s not collected by then, follow up accordingly.
