Rubbish and waste

The council collects over 1000 tonnes of household waste each week, most of which ends up on landfill sites. Landfill sites are getting full and are not environmentally friendly in the long term.

You can do your bit to reduce the amount of waste by recycling

In addition to the weekly household and food waste collection and fortnightly collection of your recycling bins, we also provide a service to collect any bulky items or hazardous waste that you need to dispose of.  We also provide a clinical waste collection service for clinics, doctors and dentists.

Knowsley, alongside the other Merseyside councils, works in partnership with Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority to develop a Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy (JMWMS).
