Recycling Schemes for Birmingham Residents
Most households
in the city now have a
doorstep collection service. This collects paper and card from your blue
box and glass, cans and plastic bottles from your green box every
fortnight. On alternate weeks we collect your green sack containing
garden waste. We hope to roll out the full service to everyone by the
end of this year. You can also use the network of around 400
Local Recycling Centres or one of the five
Household Recycling Centres in the city. Find out more by using the
recycling menu or
contact us.
Coming soon! You will soon be able
to find out your refuse collection and recycling collection days here on
the Recycling website. In the meantime, please telephone 0121 303 1112
or email Recycling

Tetra Paks (drinks carton) Recycling
Each year 55,000 tonnes of orange, soup and milk cartons are thrown away,
equal to 2.3kg per person. But residents in Birmingham, instead of
throwing the milk and juice cartons away can now recycle them. Working
with ACE (Alliance for Carton Recycling) there are now facilities to
collect “Tetra Pak” cartons at the
Household Recycling Centres. We are hoping to include them in the
doorstep green box in 2008 – watch this space for more information. For
more information about Tetra Pak and how they are recycled go to
www.tetrapakrecycling.co.uk
