Birmingham’s Mobile Household Waste Centres: Locations and schedule after disruption

Birmingham City Council has announced the schedule for its Mobile Household Waste Centres this week, following disruptions caused by a significant protest.

The council has been operating mobile waste collection points across the city for several months to manage rubbish amid ongoing bin strikes in Birmingham.

This week’s disruptions were marked by a second “mega-picket” on 25th July, which saw union protesters travel from across the country to Birmingham, gathering at various city depots in show of solidarity with striking bin workers. Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn was among the supporters who joined the crowds on Friday.

The bin strike, which began in January over pay and the removal of roles, escalated into full-scale industrial action from 11th March. Throughout Friday, protesters gathered at depots in Tyseley, Perry Barr, and Pershore/Sherlock Street, Birmingham. The protests resulted in depot gates being closed, preventing lorries from leaving.

A Birmingham City Council spokesperson said: “Locations for our Mobile Household Waste Centres are now online. You can bring your household general waste, and bulky items, no need to book.”

The council has provided a list of locations across wards in the city, along with their scheduled times:

• Al-Hijrah Masjid car park, St. Benedicts Road B10 9ND — Tuesday 29/07/2025, 07:30–13:00

During Friday’s demonstration, Gawain Little from the General Federation of Trade Unions called on the council to resume negotiations with Unite. He emphasised the importance of union solidarity, telling BirminghamLive: “I think it’s really important that the trade unions have come together to show solidarity with the bin workers.”

Council leader John Cotton previously explained the council’s position: “We have negotiated in good faith but unfortunately Unite has rejected all offers so we must now press ahead to both address our equal pay risk and make much-needed improvements to the waste service.

“Unite’s demands would leave us with another equal pay bill of hundreds of millions of pounds, which is totally unacceptable, and would jeopardise the considerable progress we have made in our financial recovery.”
