Rubbish and fly-tipping

Your bin collections are the responsibility of your local authority. If your bin was missed you will need to contact them.

If you have a communal bin which has not been collected because it is overflowing you can contact us.

If your household bin is too small, your local council may be able to give you a bigger one. 

Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of rubbish. This includes leaving bags, furniture or other items in shared areas, by bin stores, on footpaths or on grassed areas.

Fly-tipping is a crime and a breach of your tenancy agreement. We investigate all reports and may take action, including fines, recharging removal costs or legal action that could put your tenancy at risk.

Fly-tipping makes neighbourhoods look untidy, attracts pests and takes money away from services for customers.

You can report fly-tipping on whg land through your online account. We will investigate and take appropriate action.

If the rubbish is on council land, please report it to your local council. In Walsall, report to: flytipping@walsall.gov.uk or call 01922 653355.

You can safely dispose of your rubbish for free at your local council’s waste and recycling centre. There are two household waste and recycling areas in Walsall:

• Fryers Road Household Waste Recycling Centre, Bloxwich
• Middlemore Lane Household Waste Recycling Centre, Aldridge

If you are unable to get to a waste and recycling centre, your local council may offer a bulky items collection service for a small charge.
