Find waste and recycling services
Birmingham City Council’s waste and recycling hub links to collection-day checks, missed-collection reports and household recycling centre information. Use the council’s address and postcode tools for local arrangements, and check its latest service notices for changes or disruption.
At review, the council’s published full-service hours were Monday and Tuesday, 11am–7pm; Wednesday to Saturday, 11am–5pm; and closed on Sunday. The library also has a limited express service at different times. The council lists a step-free entrance and lifts to all floors. Check the current hours and closure notices before visiting.
Visit Birmingham’s official visitor guide groups ideas under museums and galleries, culture and heritage, family attractions and free things to do. Opening times, admission, bookings and access arrangements vary by venue, so check the venue’s own visitor information before setting out.
Visit Birmingham’s regularly updated calendar covers events including festivals, live music, theatre, exhibitions, sport and family activities. Dates, tickets, venue arrangements and accessibility details can change; confirm them with the event organiser before travelling or booking.
Transport for West Midlands’ journey planner covers bus, train and tram routes, walking and cycling options, timetables, fares and disruption updates. National Rail currently lists Birmingham New Street as step-free to all platforms, with lifts, accessible toilets and a Changing Places toilet. Check both live services before travelling because access and disruption information can change.
