Residents who want to sign up to the garden waste collection service in Wirral have until May 20th to subscribe in order to ensure they receive the first collection of the new ‘season’ in June.

The groundwork to create 15 new wildflower meadows in Wirral has now been completed - in time to attract an increasing number of pollinators to the borough over the summer.

Households that are being asked to take part in this 10-week trial will receive information telling them they have been selected and what will be expected of them. The trial itself will run from June to August 2025.

The new subscription period for kerbside garden waste collections runs from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2026.
