Where waste goes in this region
14 waste authorities, 14 sets of rules
The West Midlands is not one waste authority. Permits, booking systems and DIY-waste limits change the moment you cross a borough boundary — which is why a clearance quote that ignores the address is a guess. None of it applies when we do the work: the licence, the permits and the tipping fees are ours.
| Authority | Recycling centres | Resident rules | Towns we cover |

Clearance by town — all 62 West Midlands areas
Every town has its own page with local pricing, access notes and the waste authority that covers it.
Birmingham, West Midlands
- Clearance in AstonB6 · Birmingham City CouncilVilla Park match days close and restrict streets around Witton Lane and Trinity Road, so Aston collections are timed off the fixture list. Many back-to-back terraces here have no rear access, which means everything is carried through the house.
- Clearance in Kings HeathB14 · Birmingham City CouncilKings Heath's Edwardian villas are widely converted to flats, so a 'one-bedroom clearance' here often means a first-floor carry-down with no lift and a narrow return staircase.
- Clearance in BournvilleB30 · Birmingham City CouncilThe Bournville Village Trust covenants restrict what can be stored or skipped on frontages, and many original cottages have side entries under a metre wide.
- Clearance in Alum RockB8 · Birmingham City CouncilAlum Rock Road and the surrounding terraces are alley-gated, meaning rear access needs a key-holder present; we schedule around that rather than assume it.
- Clearance in LadywoodB16 · Birmingham City CouncilCanalside and reservoir-side blocks around Brindleyplace and Icknield Port have controlled barriers and short loading windows, and most of Ladywood sits inside the Clean Air Zone boundary.
- Clearance in Selly OakB29 · Birmingham City CouncilSelly Oak is dominated by student HMOs, so June to September is peak clearance season — mattresses, desks and abandoned furniture in volume, usually against a tight changeover deadline.
- Clearance in ErdingtonB23 · Birmingham City CouncilThe Tyburn Road and A38 corridor is busy from 07:00, so Erdington loads are timed for mid-morning, and many 1930s Corporation houses have long side-drives that let us reverse right up to the door.
- Clearance in HarborneB17 · Birmingham City CouncilMoor Pool is a Grade II conservation area with narrow unadopted lanes; we barrow out to High Street or Ridgacre Road rather than take vehicles down them.
- Clearance in MoseleyB13 · Birmingham City CouncilWake Green Road and the Moseley conservation streets are heavily parked by day, so we book early-morning slots and use pedestrian access from the rear entries where they exist.
- Clearance in EdgbastonB15 · Birmingham City CouncilLarge Calthorpe Estate houses generate three to four times the volume of a standard semi, and conservation-area rules on the estate limit skips on frontages — a van-based clearance avoids the permit entirely.
- Clearance in Sutton ColdfieldB72 · Birmingham City CouncilSutton's larger detached properties and Royal Town conservation streets mean bigger loads and stricter frontage rules; garage and loft clearances here are frequently probate-related and need an itemised inventory.
Dudley, West Midlands
- Clearance in KingswinfordDY6 · Dudley Metropolitan Borough CouncilKingswinford's 1960s and 70s estates typically have integral garages full of the actual clearance volume — we quote off the garage, not the house.
- Clearance in SedgleyDY3 · Dudley Metropolitan Borough CouncilSedgley sits on the ridge with steep, narrow drives; smaller vans and more trips beat one large vehicle that cannot turn.
- Clearance in StourbridgeDY8 · Dudley Metropolitan Borough CouncilStourbridge's glass-quarter workshops and Victorian villas produce heavy, awkward loads; we weigh-plan so a single van isn't overloaded on the Wollaston hill.
- Clearance in HalesowenB63 · Dudley Metropolitan Borough CouncilHalesowen's post-war estates have shared parking courts where a van can block residents in, so we agree a loading position with neighbours before we start.
Sandwell, West Midlands
- Clearance in Cradley HeathB64 · Sandwell Metropolitan Borough CouncilFormer chainmaking yards and workshops behind Cradley Heath houses hide serious volumes of scrap metal, which we separate for recycling rather than tipping.
- Clearance in West BromwichB70 · Sandwell Metropolitan Borough CouncilWest Bromwich terraces with rear entries and the high-rise blocks off All Saints Way both need lift booking or an entry key, and the ring road restricts where a van can wait.
- Clearance in OldburyB69 · Sandwell Metropolitan Borough CouncilOldbury's mix of industrial units and terraced housing means mixed loads are common — we separate trade and household waste on the van so the duty-of-care paperwork stays clean.
- Clearance in TiptonDY4 · Sandwell Metropolitan Borough CouncilTipton's canal-side terraces have narrow towpath-side access and no off-street parking on many streets, so two-person barrow runs are standard.
- Clearance in SmethwickB66 · Sandwell Metropolitan Borough CouncilSmethwick's back-to-back terraces and shared entries mean furniture usually comes out through the front door and along the pavement; we lay runners to protect shared hallways.
- Clearance in BlackheathB65 · Sandwell Metropolitan Borough CouncilBlackheath's steep streets off Halesowen Road make trolleying uphill impractical, so we position the van above the property wherever the road allows.
- Clearance in WednesburyWS10 · Sandwell Metropolitan Borough CouncilWednesbury's market-town centre has loading restrictions during trading hours, so shop and flat clearances here are booked for early morning or after 17:30.
Shropshire
- Clearance in TelfordTF1 · Telford & Wrekin CouncilTelford's new-town road hierarchy and pedestrian underpass network add carry distance on many estates, which we allow for in the quoted window.
- Clearance in ShrewsburySY1 · Shropshire CouncilShrewsbury's loop-in-the-Severn town centre has weight and width limits on several approaches, so vehicle choice is decided by the address, not the load.
- Clearance in LudlowSY8 · Shropshire CouncilLudlow's listed medieval buildings have narrow, winding staircases — large furniture usually has to be dismantled in place before it moves.
- Clearance in OswestrySY11 · Shropshire CouncilOswestry's border-town location means some jobs straddle the Welsh boundary; the waste still returns to a licensed English transfer station with matching paperwork.
- Clearance in AlbrightonWV7 · Shropshire CouncilAlbrighton's village lanes and RAF Cosford traffic set our arrival window, and most properties allow off-road loading on the drive.
Solihull, West Midlands
- Clearance in KnowleB93 · Solihull Metropolitan Borough CouncilKnowle High Street is a conservation area with tight, listed frontages and a 20mph zone; we work off Kenilworth Road and barrow in rather than block the street.
- Clearance in Castle BromwichB36 · Solihull Metropolitan Borough CouncilProximity to the M6 and the Jaguar Land Rover plant makes shift-change times unworkable; Castle Bromwich collections are set for 10:00–14:00 to stay clear.
- Clearance in Hampton-in-ArdenB92 · Solihull Metropolitan Borough CouncilHampton-in-Arden's village lanes and level crossing dictate vehicle size, so we favour a Luton or transit over an artic-style load-out.
- Clearance in Hockley HeathB94 · Solihull Metropolitan Borough CouncilCanalside and farm properties along the Stratford Road often need a longer carry from an outbuilding or barn than the house itself.
- Clearance in Balsall CommonCV7 · Solihull Metropolitan Borough CouncilBalsall Common's HS2 construction traffic changes the local road pattern week to week, so routes are checked the morning of the job.
- Clearance in DorridgeB93 · Solihull Metropolitan Borough CouncilDorridge and Bentley Heath sit on long, gravelled drives with mature planting — we use boards to protect gravel and lawn when a heavy load is being carried out.
Staffordshire
- Clearance in Stoke-on-TrentST1 · Stoke-on-Trent City CouncilStoke's six towns each have their own access quirks; former pottery-works conversions in particular have industrial-scale volumes behind ordinary frontages.
- Clearance in TamworthB79 · Staffordshire County CouncilTamworth's castle-quarter and Glascote terraces have restricted parking, while the borough's newer estates allow drive-up access — we check which before quoting.
- Clearance in CannockWS11 · Staffordshire County CouncilCannock's Chase-edge properties and former colliery housing have generous rear access, so most clearances here load from the back with no street disruption.
- Clearance in Newcastle-under-LymeST5 · Staffordshire County CouncilNewcastle's steep Victorian terraces and university lets create a heavy summer clearance peak with tight changeover deadlines.
- Clearance in StaffordST16 · Staffordshire County CouncilStafford's town-centre flats above retail and the Riverway one-way system mean timed loading slots are booked in advance.
- Clearance in LichfieldWS13 · Staffordshire County CouncilLichfield's cathedral-close conservation area restricts vehicle size and standing time; we use the nearest permitted loading point and barrow in.
Walsall, West Midlands
- Clearance in WillenhallWV13 · Walsall CouncilWillenhall's lock-making workshops and outbuildings behind terraces often hold decades of metal stock — separated for scrap recycling and credited against the job.
- Clearance in BloxwichWS3 · Walsall CouncilBloxwich's High Street flats above shops need a front-of-shop carry-out during quiet trading hours; we coordinate with the ground-floor tenant.
- Clearance in AldridgeWS9 · Walsall CouncilAldridge's larger detached homes have long private drives, so full-property clearances run off-highway with no permit and no street disruption.
- Clearance in PelsallWS3 · Walsall CouncilPelsall's common-side properties have unadopted access tracks that soften in wet weather; we bring boards rather than risk rutting a verge.
- Clearance in BrownhillsWS8 · Walsall CouncilBrownhills' canal and Chasewater-side properties can be a long carry from the nearest hard standing, which is why we quote on access, not just volume.
Warwickshire
- Clearance in NuneatonCV11 · Warwickshire County CouncilNuneaton's town-centre flats and the Judkins recycling centre queues shape timings; we tip mid-afternoon to avoid the weekend backlog.
- Clearance in RugbyCV21 · Warwickshire County CouncilRugby's Victorian terraces off Murray Road have rear entries too narrow for a trolley, and the town's cement-works traffic dictates our approach from the A426.
- Clearance in Leamington SpaCV32 · Warwickshire County CouncilLeamington's Regency terraces are largely listed and in a conservation area, with resident-permit parking throughout — we apply for a suspension where a full clearance needs one.
- Clearance in WarwickCV34 · Warwickshire County CouncilWarwick's medieval street pattern inside the town gates rules out large vehicles; we shuttle with a smaller van from a staging point outside the walls.
- Clearance in Stratford-upon-AvonCV37 · Warwickshire County CouncilStratford's tourist traffic and coach routes make afternoon loading unworkable in season, so clearances start at 08:00.
West Midlands
- Clearance in SolihullB91 · Solihull Metropolitan Borough CouncilTown-centre flats around Touchwood and Station Road need pre-booked loading bays, while the Blythe valley closes have private drives where we can load off-highway without any permit.
- Clearance in WolverhamptonWV1 · City of Wolverhampton CouncilThe city ring road and the Metro line restrict standing on several central streets, so Wolverhampton clearances are booked into a specific loading window.
- Clearance in WalsallWS1 · Walsall CouncilWalsall town centre has a controlled loading zone and the ring road limits standing time, so we run timed collections and confirm the window the day before.
- Clearance in BirminghamB1 · Birmingham City CouncilBirmingham's Clean Air Zone covers everything inside the A4540 Middleway, so we run compliant vehicles and never pass a CAZ charge on to you. City-centre apartment blocks almost always require a booked service lift and a loading bay slot.
- Clearance in DudleyDY1 · Dudley Metropolitan Borough CouncilDudley's hillside terraces and the limestone escarpment mean steps between the road and the door on many properties — quoted for up front rather than added later.
- Clearance in CoventryCV1 · Coventry City CouncilCoventry's ring road junctions and the university quarter's one-way system dictate approach routes, and student-let changeovers concentrate clearances into July and August.
Wolverhampton, West Midlands
Worcestershire
- Clearance in RedditchB97 · Worcestershire County CouncilRedditch's new-town layout puts most housing on cul-de-sacs served by pedestrian-only paths, which adds carry distance we price in advance.
- Clearance in KidderminsterDY10 · Worcestershire County CouncilKidderminster's former carpet-works conversions have goods lifts with weight limits, so heavy items are staged and taken down in planned loads.
- Clearance in BromsgroveB61 · Worcestershire County CouncilBromsgrove's rural fringe properties often need a farm-track approach; we confirm vehicle size against the access before booking.
- Clearance in MalvernWR14 · Worcestershire County CouncilMalvern's hillside houses have long stepped approaches from the road — the single biggest factor in the time a clearance takes here.
- Clearance in WorcesterWR1 · Worcestershire County CouncilWorcester's riverside and cathedral-quarter streets have tight medieval frontages and flood-risk cellars, both of which change how a clearance is staged.
West Midlands clearance FAQs
Q1.How much does clearance cost in the West Midlands?
Man-and-van rubbish removal starts from £90 for a part load. A typical three-bedroom house clearance in Birmingham or the Black Country runs £240–£650 depending on volume, stairs and how far the carry is to the van. Every West Midlands quote is fixed in writing before the crew is booked.
Q2.Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes — Hello Services holds upper-tier waste carrier registration with the Environment Agency. Every West Midlands collection closes with a digital waste transfer note. That paperwork matters: under duty of care, the household or business that produced the waste stays liable if it is fly-tipped.
Q3.Which councils and tips cover the West Midlands?
Waste responsibility is split across 14 authorities in our coverage area — Birmingham City Council, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, Walsall Council, Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council and others. Each runs its own permit, booking and DIY-waste rules. When we do the work none of it applies to you: the licence, the permit and the tipping fees are ours.
Q4.Do I need a skip permit?
No. Everything is loaded straight into our vans, so there is no skip on the highway and no council permit to apply for. That also avoids the Birmingham Clean Air Zone charge — our vehicles are compliant and we never pass the daily charge on.
Q5.How quickly can you collect?
Most West Midlands postcodes get a same- or next-day slot. Crews run from depots covering Birmingham, Solihull, Coventry, Dudley, Walsall and Wolverhampton, so we can usually offer a two-hour arrival window rather than an all-day wait.
Q6.What happens to the waste?
Loads go to licensed West Midlands transfer stations and are sorted. Serviceable furniture and white goods are offered to local reuse schemes and charities first, then metal, timber, textiles and WEEE are separated — typically over 80% of a load is diverted from landfill.
