Sutton people should make a last sweep of their garden rubbish before collections end on November 23 and will not resume until spring.

According to Birmingham City Council: “As our gardens ‘hibernate’ for the winter, so does our garden waste service!”

The last collection for this year will be during the week commencing 23 November – on your usual collection day. Households can check their collection day online: birmingham.gov.uk/waste.

If you have any garden rubbish you need to dispose of during the winter months you can take it to one of five household recycling centres. You will need to book a slot before you visit, find out more here: birmingham.gov.uk/hrc

Sales will re-open soon for the 2021 garden waste service, and the council will be contacting householders with the relevant information.

Anyone with queries about the garden waste service visit birmingham.gov.uk/gardenwaste.
