With Christmas falling on a Friday this year, Acocks Green ward residents will have normal refuse collections over the Christmas break.

Should you wish to visit Tyseley Tip (Household Recycling Centre) over the holiday period, please note that the city’s five Household Recycling Centres will be closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day (Friday 25 December and Saturday 26 December) – but will be open on all other days. If you want to visit an HRC you will need to book beforehand; more details here You can book one week in advance and the holiday slots are likely to go quickly.
