Mobile waste service goes seven days a week due to bin strikes, offering free rubbish drop-off points.
Now, weekend service is also available. A waste chief announced locations. On Saturday, go to Farnborough Road Car Park in Castle Vale, B35 7JE. On Sunday, try Morrisons in Stirchley, B30 2YY. The hours are 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM.
Residents must take rubbish to the set place. You can throw away general waste and bulky stuff there. If you use a van, expect checks. They want to prevent commercial waste dumping, and you will sign a form.
Vans are limited to ten items or twenty black bags. Vans can only visit once. Bin workers rejected a cash deal, and further strike disruptions might occur. The strikes started last month.
Union leaders want help from officials, as they rejected a settlement offer. The council is facing cuts, and commissioners are making things worse they said. Unite represents 150 workers whose roles face elimination. Workers rejected the cash offer, and strikes will continue into March it seems. One source reported the cash offer was £7,000.
