Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Redditch says it is still working towards food-waste collections during 2026/27 after expected government funding failed to arrive. The council is reassessing what it can provide within available funds and says start dates and caddy deliveries will be announced once confirmed. Separately, its bulky-waste service has stopped taking fridges and freezers because national treatment capacity has fallen. The council says Worcestershire recycling centres cannot accept cooling appliances either. It suggests retailer take-back schemes, repair or reuse for suitable appliances, or safe storage, and asks residents using a waste carrier to check where the item will go.
