No grey or green bins will be collected today (Monday 5 January).

No bin collections took place in Wirral today (Monday 5 January) due to the snow and icy conditions making it unsafe for our crews to operate.

We are working with our waste contractor, Biffa, to come up with a plan on how we can safely resume collections. We hope to be able to return to normal operations tomorrow (Tuesday 6 January), weather permitting.

If you were due to have a collection today (Monday) please leave your bin out for collection - and we will aim to collect it as soon as we can.

If you were due to have a bulky waste collection today (Monday), we will contact you to rearrange this collection as soon as the service has resumed.

For any bin collections for the rest of the week, please place your bin out as usual on your scheduled collection day and we will aim to collect it as soon as possible.
