Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Wyre Forest has declined to introduce weekly food-waste collections until the government provides additional funding. Its service page says councillors endorsed that position at a full council meeting on 25 February. Residents are directed to compost suitable scraps at home or put food in the black rubbish bin, keeping it out of green recycling bins. Separately, an April 2026 announcement widened green-bin recycling to include aluminium foil and empty plastic tubes. Councillor Nathan Desmond welcomed the change but warned that food, nappies, tissues and wipes were contaminating recycling. He urged residents to check the accepted-items list.
