Bromsgrove bin collections

By Mark Andrews. Checked against Bromsgrove District Council pages on 26 October 2026.

Nobody in Bromsgrove has a Monday collection, so bank holiday Mondays never move your bin day. The only collections that shift are ones landing on Christmas Day or Boxing Day.

Which bin is which in Bromsgrove

Grey bin for general rubbish, green for mixed recycling, brown for garden waste if you subscribe. Out by 7am. Extra waste isn't taken, and if something's in the wrong bin it waits for the next collection, which is usually two weeks away.

Green Recycling Green bin - mixed recycling

Grey General waste Grey bin - non-recyclable general waste

Brown Garden waste Brown bin - garden waste (subscription)Fortnightly

Garden waste: £60 a year

£60 for the 2026 service year, plus a one-off £22 set-up charge, paid by Direct Debit only. There are no concessions. Join part way through and the price is pro-rated (call 01527 881188). This year's collections finish in the week of 30 November or 7 December, depending on your round.

No separate food waste collection yet

Not collected yet. The council says it's working towards a food waste service during the 2026/27 financial year.

Report a missed bin

Report it within 48 hours, but only once the collection day is over. Crews work until 5pm Tuesday to Thursday and 4pm on Fridays.
