Birmingham Bin Strike: Garden Waste Collections Remain Suspended
18 Jan
Summary
- Garden waste collections are not currently available in Birmingham.
- The seasonal service was suspended last spring due to ongoing bin strike.
- Council cites frustration and calls reintroducing service a priority.

Garden waste collections will not be resumed in Birmingham while the ongoing bin strike continues to cause significant disruption. The seasonal service, which was suspended last spring due to industrial action, has now been unavailable for a full year.
Birmingham City Council stated that reintroducing these collections is not feasible at the present moment. Coun Majid Mahmood, cabinet member for environment and transport, expressed understanding and shared frustration regarding the extended lack of service for residents.
Despite the challenges, bringing back the garden waste collection service has been identified as a key priority for the council. Residents have been without this amenity since last spring, and officials are working towards its eventual reinstatement.
