Did you know? 

Recycling Centres have new ‘Disposable Vape’ bins to help provide safe disposal and recycling routes for the millions of vapes currently thrown away each week across the UK. 

Plan your trips in line with the new hours – and if you plan to visit in a van or with a large trailer, please book using the dedicated system www.merseysidewda.gov.uk.

Whilst the tips can be used to dispose of unwanted toys and electrical items, if they are in a good condition, consider donating them to local charities and community groups instead of throwing them away.
