Dudley Bin Collection Day: Schedule, Calendar & Missed Bins
A simple Dudley borough guide for checking your bin day, understanding the 2026 waste service change, knowing what goes in the black bin, blue bin, blue bag, food caddy and garden bin, reporting missed bins correctly, booking bulky waste and using the Stourbridge tip without relying on old screenshots.
If you searched for Dudley bin collection, the first mistake is assuming every street has the same day. Dudley Council uses address-based collection information, and the new waste service from April 2026 means residents must check the exact bin or caddy due for their own property.

🗓️ Check my Dudley bin collection day
Best route: open Dudley Council’s official bin day page and use MyDudley or the address search.
Why: Dudley, Stourbridge, Halesowen, Brierley Hill, Sedgley, Coseley and Kingswinford may not share the same round.
Collection rule: put the correct bin, bag or caddy at the boundary by 6am on your collection day.
Dudley Bin Collection Quick Facts for Residents
Dudley Council’s bin information is managed through the My Bins section, where residents can check bin days, report missed collections, request containers, manage garden waste, book bulky waste, request assisted collections and book the Household Waste Recycling Centre.
Official link: Open Dudley Council My Bins hub
The new household waste and recycling service began from Monday 6 April 2026. From that date, Dudley households use a 240 litre blue wheeled bin for mixed plastic, cans, glass and cartons, a blue bag for paper and card, a 180 litre black wheeled bin for non-recyclable waste and food waste caddies for weekly food waste collections.

What This Dudley Bin Collection Guide Covers
How to Check Your Dudley Bin Collection Day Online
The safest way to check your Dudley bin collection day is to use Dudley Council’s official “Check your bin day” page or MyDudley collection lookup. This matters because your next collection depends on your exact property, not just the town name.
Official link: Open MyDudley next collection lookup
Open the official lookup
Start with Dudley Council or MyDudley. Do not rely on a screenshot from last year, a social media post or a neighbour’s bin outside their house.
Search your exact address
Choose the right house, flat or property. Communal bin stores and flats can work differently from standard kerbside houses.
Check which container is due
Look for black bin, blue bin, blue bag, food caddy and garden waste dates. Food waste is weekly, while the main black and recycling pattern alternates.
Put containers out by 6am
Put your bin, bag or caddy at the boundary by 6am on collection day. Do not block pavements or make access difficult for older neighbours, prams, wheelchairs or crews.
If your collection is delayed, follow the latest council service status and leave the affected container out only where Dudley Council advises residents to do so.

Dudley Bin Collection Schedule and Calendar: What Changed in 2026?
Dudley’s new waste service started on 6 April 2026. The key change is alternate weekly collections: one week recycling is collected from the new blue wheeled bin and blue bag, and the next week the black non-recyclable waste bin is collected. Food waste is collected weekly from the outdoor food waste caddy.
Official link: Check Dudley’s official 2026 waste service explanation
| Container | What it is for | Collection pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Black wheeled bin | Non-recyclable household waste | Every other week |
| Blue wheeled bin | Mixed plastic, cans, glass and cartons | Every other week |
| Blue bag | Paper and card recycling | Collected with recycling week |
| Food waste caddy | Food waste from the kitchen caddy into the outdoor caddy | Weekly |
| Green garden bin | Subscribed household garden waste | Every other week where subscribed |
Dudley Bin Types: Black Bin, Blue Recycling Bin, Blue Bag and Food Caddy
Dudley’s 2026 system separates non-recyclable waste, mixed recycling, paper/card and food waste. That separation is not cosmetic; if the wrong items go into the wrong container, a collection can be delayed, rejected or create contamination.
Official link: Open Dudley Recycles for recycling guidance
🗑️ Black bin
Use the black bin for non-recyclable waste. It is collected every other week under the new alternate weekly service.
Black Bin Schedule♻️ Blue wheeled bin
Use the blue wheeled bin for mixed plastic, cans, glass and cartons. This makes recycling quicker and easier than the old container mix.
Blue Bin Details📄 Blue bag
Continue using the blue bag for paper and card recycling. Keep paper and cardboard clean and dry where possible.
Request Bags or Containers🍽️ Food waste caddy
Use the small indoor kitchen caddy and the larger outdoor lockable caddy for weekly food waste collection.
Food Caddy HelpDudley Missed Bin Collection: When and How to Report
Dudley Council says missed general waste, food waste and recycling collections can be reported from 4pm on the day of collection and up to 4pm on the next working day. Assisted missed collections have a longer reporting window up to 4pm two working days later.
Official link: Read Dudley missed bin collection rules
Wait until after 4pm on collection day
Do not report too early. Crews may still be working in your area during the day.
Check service disruption first
If Dudley Council has a live delay notice, follow that notice. They may ask residents to leave bins out while crews catch up.
Report within the correct window
For normal general waste, food waste and recycling, report from 4pm on the due day up to 4pm next working day.
Use the online missed collection report
Online reporting is cleaner than guessing because it records your property, waste type and timing.
Garden waste missed collections are handled differently: Dudley Council says garden waste will be picked up within seven working days of being reported, usually when crews are back in the area to avoid unnecessary vehicle emissions.

Dudley Garden Waste Collection: Subscription, Permit and Missed Collections
Dudley’s household garden waste collection is a paid subscription service. For 2026-27, Dudley Council states that the service runs for 50 weeks from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, pausing for two weeks over the festive and New Year period.
Official link: Open Dudley household garden waste service
Published 2026-27 cost
Dudley Council’s garden waste FAQ lists the 2026-27 subscription cost as £52. Always check the current page before paying because charges can change.
Attach the permit
Residents receive a permit after payment. Only bins with visible permits should be presented for the paid garden waste collection.
Do not take the bin when moving
Dudley’s FAQ says the bin should remain at the original address because the permit is attached to the property.
Neighbour sharing is possible
The FAQ says residents can share a garden bin with a neighbour, with the bin charged to one resident and collected from that property.
If you cannot use MyDudley, Dudley Council Plus is the practical fallback route for garden waste help, including residents buying a permit on behalf of someone else.

Official link: Request an assisted collection from Dudley Council
People who cannot move bins safely
The service is designed for residents who need genuine help moving bins or recycling containers to the collection point.
Agreed place at the front
Dudley’s policy says crews collect from an agreed place in front of the property and return containers to the same place.
Rear collection is not offered
The policy notes that crews are unable to collect wheeled bins and recycling containers from the rear of the property.
Eligibility is checked
Dudley can ask residents to confirm they still meet eligibility requirements after assistance has been approved.
Do not wait until someone has already fallen or struggled with a heavy bin. If the household cannot safely move containers, check the assisted collection policy and apply through the official route.
