Longer hours for Wirral waste and recycling centres
Wirral residents are now able to recycle more as Household Waste Recycling Centres open for longer over the spring and summer months.
Since yesterday - Monday 1st April - recycling centres across Merseyside and Halton are open from 8am until 8pm.
There are 16 Household Waste Recycling Centres in the region. They are operated by resource management company Veolia, on behalf of Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA).
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.
The centres provide a popular service for residents and 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 the MDWA website
From 1st April 2024 until 30th September 2024, Wirral’s Household Waste Recycling Centres will be open from 8am until 8pm.
The local centres are at:
- Bidston – Wallasey Bridge Road, Birkenhead – CH41 1EB
- Clatterbridge – Mount Road, Clatterbridge – CH63 4JZ
- West Kirby – Greenbank Road – CH48 5HR
