Birmingham City Council, GB responds to illegal dumping with Mobile Household Recycling Centres
Birmingham City Council, GB Mobile Household Recycling
The MHRC initiative was created following a rise in illegal dumping incidents by unlicensed operators. Each MHRC consists of vehicles for free landfill waste, recycling, and reusable appliance collection. Local officials developed four MHRC teams to support at least one stop per year in the city's 69 wards. Birmingham City Council schedules twice-monthly MHRC visits in areas with high-density residential areas or limited access to recycling facilities.
