Same-day booking system introduced at all Birmingham HRCs.
The EnviroGrant Scheme is now open for applications until 30 November to help Birmingham based community groups, societies and charities to improve the environment around them. Eligible groups can apply for grants up to £1,000 and a minimum of 10 groups will be awarded a piece of £10,000 pot.
Following a period of closure related to nearby roadworks, the city’s Castle Bromwich Household Recycling Centre (HRC) will re-open on Thursday (June 18).

As at all of Birmingham’s other HRCs, visits can only be made by those who book a slot in advance via the web.

The same restrictions and rules that apply at the other sites also apply (cars only, one visit per vehicle per week and the vehicle used must be the one that is mentioned when completing the form).
A new online booking system has been introduced to access Birmingham’s network of HRCs in recognition of the fact COVID-19 social distancing measures are set to remain in place for the foreseeable future.

The new website booking system, based on one operated successfully in Leeds, is now open and residents who use the website system can reserve slots for later this week from Thursday (June 11) onwards.
​​​​​​​As part of the ongoing review of services during the coronavirus pandemic, four of the five household recycling centres in Birmingham will reopen Thursday 7 May. This is with the exception of the Castle Bromwich site which will remain closed due to urgent road works being carried out on the road leading up to the recycling centre.
