Environment, recycling and waste

Knowsley strives to improve the quality of the local environment. We encourage our residents to recycle valuable resources and adopt ‘green’ methods to reduce waste.  This section provides information on Green Knowsley and how we monitor environmental health issues and rubbish, waste and recycling services.
