Dudley Council seeks new central recycling center to replace inaccessible Stourbridge site, with temporary pop-up tip possible.

Dudley Council is exploring plans for a new household waste recycling centre in a more central location to reduce travel distances for residents, as the current facility in Stourbridge faces criticism for accessibility and closure on Tuesdays. A review of waste services is underway, with a temporary pop-up tip possibly introduced in the north of the borough as an interim measure. While council leaders acknowledge the value of pop-up tips, no commitment has been made to their return, and a permanent solution is expected to take several years.
