Longer hours for Wirral Recycling Centres
Wirral residents will soon have the opportunity to recycle more as Household Waste Recycling Centres across Merseyside and Halton open for longer over the spring and summer months.
From Tuesday 1 April until 30th September 2025, the region’s centres will be open from 8am until 8pm*.
There are 16 Household Waste Recycling Centres in the region. They are operated by Veolia on behalf of Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA).
Lesley Worswick, Chief Executive of MRWA, said:
The Recycling Centres accept a range of household materials for recycling, from batteries, cans and cardboard, through to garden clippings, glass bottles, wood, and white goods. They also accept lesser-known items such as food and drink cartons, clothes, hard plastics and electrical items. The lighter spring and summer nights mean we can stay open for longer.
Wirral recycling centres are located at:
- Bidston – Wallasey Bridge Road, Birkenhead – CH41 1EB
- Clatterbridge – Mount Road, Clatterbridge – CH63 4JZ
- West Kirby – Greenbank Road – CH48 5HR
Householders can check www.recycleright.org.uk for details of what can be accepted at their local site.
The centres can become extremely busy at peak times so visits should be planned carefully.
There is a system in place for those who wish to visit in a van or with a large trailer. Bookings can be made at www.merseysidewda.gov.uk.
Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority is responsible for municipal waste on Merseyside. MRWA takes a lead in advocating recycling, waste prevention and safe and effective disposal of waste for Merseyside residents.
