Many residents have asked me about Waste Disposal & Recycling- Please here are the arrangements over Christmas and New Year.

Rubbish Tips (Household Waste Recycling Centres)

Find a Household Waste Recycling Centre including opening times and what you can take.

In a car?

What you can take to the tip

If you are a resident of Wolverhampton and plan to visit the tip in a car, you can access the site at any time, there’s no need to book and you can dispose of the following list of items at the tip free of charge:

• car batteries, gas bottles, household batteries and electrical items
• energy saving light bulbs and fluorescent tubes
• garden waste, rubble and soils
• fridges, freezers and furniture
• scrap metal, timber, chipboard and plasterboard
• bulky plastic items, textiles and glass
• used cooking oil, tyres and engine oil

Please note, you can only  recycle certain types of plastics [402kb] at the tips.

If you are planning to visit the rubbish tip in a van, larger vehicle or with a trailer you will need to obtain a Tip Permit and book a time slot.

Opening hours

Both sites are open on bank holidays except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

These sites are operated by Wolverhampton City Council for residents of Wolverhampton and North Dudley only

You may be asked for ID showing your postcode (e.g. Driving Licence, recent Council Tax bill)

Traffic

To help with traffic congestion at and around the site it would be appreciated if users would separate their waste into the suitable categories prior to visiting the site.

Getting rid of unwanted paint

You can recycle unwanted paint by visiting a local Community Re-Paint scheme. Please note, this is not a council scheme. You can find out more by visiting http://communityrepaint.org.uk.
