How long does it take for a missed collection to be picked up?
Birmingham says a missed collection is usually picked up within 2 working days once it’s been reported, or once the council has identified it. If it hasn’t been collected by then, you should take the bin back in and put it out again on the next scheduled collection day for that bin type.
| Timing | What Birmingham says |
|---|---|
| Usual timescale | Collected within 2 working days |
| If not collected in that time | Take the bins back onto your property and leave them out on the next collection day of that type |
If you want to report one, Birmingham also says you can only do that for general waste after 1:30pm on the day it was due.
