A recycling centre has closed after a fire in the women's toilets on site.
The City of Wolverhampton Council said an electrical issue with a dehumidifier caused the fire in the toilets at Shaw Lane Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC).
"Fortunately, the fire did not cause any injuries, but it has affected staff toilet and washing facilities and we are organising temporary replacements," they said.
The authority added the electrics were being checked and it hoped to reopen the site on Tuesday.
Residents were advised to take household waste and recycling to the Anchor Lane site in the meantime.
