Dudley Council Cancels Commercial Waste Collections
Dudley Council will stop its commercial waste collection service from 31 March 2025. The move could impact many of the 10,000 businesses across Dudley, Brierley Hill, Halesowen, and Stourbridge. If your business relies on commercial waste collection and recycling by Dudley Council you must find an alternative arrangement.
The decision was communicated to trade waste customers on 28 January 2025 – around two months before Defra’s new Simper Recycling reforms come into action. It means many companies in Dudley and the surrounding area need to find new licensed waste contractors to collect, dispose of, and recycle their commercial waste soon.
At Business Waste, we can provide commercial waste collection services in Dudley to help your company remain compliant and minimise disruptions. Call 0800 211 8390 or contact us online today to get a free no-obligation quote and discuss your needs.

When will Dudley Council stop
collecting commercial waste?
From 31 March 2025, Dudley Council will no longer offer a commercial waste collection service – including commercial recycling. This means from 1 April 2025 any business that uses Dudley Council’s commercial waste collection services must have a new waste contractor in place.
The last commercial waste collection by Dudley Council will be on your company’s normal collection day during the week beginning 24 March 2025. It can be brought forward if you advise Dudley Council to cease the service sooner.
What does this mean for
businesses in Dudley?
Businesses that previously used Dudley Council’s commercial waste service will need to find a private waste collection service. Those that don’t act quickly could see missed collections, compliance issues, and increased costs. Any missed collections can lead to a build-up of waste in the local area, which can be unsightly and attract pests like rats and flies.
Companies of any size and industry that currently rely on Dudley Council to collect their waste must find an alternative arrangement before 31 March 2025. Use licensed waste contractors registered with the Environment Agency that provide collection, recycling, and responsible disposal services for all waste types your organisation produces.
This is especially timely as new Simpler Recycling rules for businesses in England with more than ten full-time employees come into force from 31 March 2025 as well. They must have separate collections of food waste, paper and cardboard (can be combined), and other dry recycling (glass, plastic, and metals, which can be combined).
