Your household waste and bin collections are managed by the City of Wolverhampton Council.

It is illegal to dump rubbish in open spaces, alleyways, or in communal areas. It also looks messy, it's a health hazard, and it is bad for the environment. If you need to get rid of unwanted items, you could:
- take them to the local waste and recycling centre
- donate them to charity
- give them away on freecycle
- request the Council to collect bulky items or unwanted electrical items
If you see fly-tipping, please report it to the council using their online form.
The council offers residents a bulky items removal service.
They will dispose of bulky items, including electricals, for a small fee, or even free of charge if you receive certain benefits.
