Longer hours for Recycling Centres
Wirral residents will soon have the opportunity to recycle more as Household Waste Recycling Centres open for longer over the spring and summer months.
From Wednesday 1st April the borough's centres - along with those in the other areas covered by Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA) - will be open from 8am until 8pm.
There are 16 Household Waste Recycling Centres in the region operated by Veolia on behalf of MRWA, with three in Wirral - Bidston, Clatterbridge and West Kirby.
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 including ‘Disposable Vape’ bins which help provide safe disposal and recycling routes for the millions of vapes currently thrown away across the country.
The lighter spring and summer nights means the Recycling Centres can stay open for longer.
Householders can check www.recycleright.org.uk for details of what can be accepted at their local site.
The Centres provide a popular service for residents and can become extremely busy at peak times so visits should be planned carefully.
