Bin Replacements Autumn 2025

The change will see the old type of 'diamond' type bins across Bromsgrove District replaced with UK standard 'comb' type bins, as shown below. The first image below illustrates the diamond type bins, which feature a large pocket on the outside. The second image illustrates the new comb type bins, which do not.

Old style diamond grey bin - will be replaced with a comb grey bodied bin with grey lid

New style grey comb bin - will be delivered if you don't have this style

Old style diamond green bin - will be replaced with a comb grey bodied bin with green lid

New style green lid comb bin - will be delivered if you don't have this style

If you already have an all green comb style bin as above, you will keep this and it will not be replaced.

We will soon be unable to empty the old type bins, so it’s essential that your old bin is presented for collection and replacement. If you already have an all green comb style bin then your bins will not be swapped, and you can continue to use them as normal.

Your new comb type bin will arrive before or at the same time as your old bin is collected. Collections will continue as normal during the rollout. Please keep placing your bins out weekly, even if they’re only partially full.

If your new bin arrives before your next collection, use your old bin as usual, and after it’s emptied, leave it out. A separate crew will collect it. If your bin hasn’t been collected by the following day, then please return your bin to your property and repeat the process on your next collection.

Our contractors work Monday to Saturday so your new bin could arrive at any point during that week. Your old diamond bin will only be removed on your collection day once it has been emptied.

Once emptied please leave the bin out until 5pm for it to be removed.
