Christmas fun
Green waste Christmas break
Borough residents are reminded that green waste collections in Dudley will take a winter break after Friday 19th December, resuming on Monday 2nd February 2009.
Calendars will be distributed to households across the borough during January with details of their collections for 2009.
Residents are reminded to make the most of the collections through the remainder of November and December before the winter break takes place due to a drop in demand.
Residents are also reminded that the civic amenity site will continue to accept green waste during the period that the collection service is suspended.
The civic amenity site will be open throughout the Christmas period but will be closed from 3pm on Christmas Eve and all day on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. The site in Birmingham Street, Stourbridge, is open 8am to 6pm on weekdays and 8am to 4.30pm on weekends.
