The collection of brown bins containing gardening waste is set to re-start again soon in Walsall.
Collections will take fortnightly starting week commencing Monday 3 April and residents are reminded that bins should be left out by 6.30am on the morning of collection.

Councillor Oliver Butler, Portfolio Holder for Clean and Green said:
“Once again all residents in the borough of Walsall with a brown bin will get a fortnightly garden waste collection for no extra charge, unlike many councils who charge for the service. I am sure all the keen gardeners out there will be pleased to know this free service is starting again soon. With the service commencing on 4 April the bins will be emptied ready for any Easter bank holiday gardening waste by Good Friday on 15 April this year.
“At the Overview and Scrutiny meeting last week I announced plans to continue collections into December, which would give residents one extra collection. Climate change brings later frosts and later leaf-fall, so having listened to residents’ concerns, it seems a sensible step to take.”
