Bank Holiday recycling and waste collection days

Click here for a leaflet giving full details of the changes to waste collection days during 2012/13.

Garden waste collections

Your green waste (blue bin) collection service will start again during the week beginning 27 February.
 
FROM THIS DATE, PLEASE PRESENT YOUR BLUE BIN ON YOUR USUAL RECYCLING COLLECTION DAY.

For more information please contact the Environmental Helpline on 0151 443 2400. Remember you can recycle shredded paper in your blue bin.

General waste collections

We collect your general waste weekly between 7am and 5pm.  

 If we are unable to gain access or experience any transport difficulties we will try to return to your bin on the same day. Where this is not practical we will collect your bin by 5pm  the following day.

Find out your next collection day by using the postcode seach on the My Neighbourhood area.

How can you help?

  • Bring your maroon bin to the kerbside or collection point by 7am on your collection day.
  • Place all refuse inside the bin and ensure that the lid closes.
  • Ensure the handle faces the road.
  • Do not fill your bin with garden waste, building materials or rubble.
  • Please make sure that your wheelie bin isn't overfilled or too heavy.  

Assisted collections

These are for residents who are physically unable to put out the bin. If you are elderly or have a disability and you do not have anyone else at home to help, you may be eligible for an assisted collection. Please contact us on  0151 443 2400 for more information or complete the assisted collections form.
