Residents who want to sign up to the garden waste collection service in Wirral have until May 20th to subscribe in order to ensure they receive the first collection of the new ‘season’ in June.

Households that are being asked to take part in this 10-week trial will receive information telling them they have been selected and what will be expected of them. The trial itself will run from June to August 2025.

Across six events, there was incredible community spirit and partnership working - people of all ages pulling together in an effort to make their neighbourhoods cleaner and greener.

The new subscription period for kerbside garden waste collections runs from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2026.

The changes come in from Tuesday 1 April.

Volunteers, local schools, third sector organisations and other partner agencies took part in Environmental Action Days to build a sense of community pride in the areas and foster relationships between residents and authorities

From April 1st 2026, it will be mandatory for all councils in the country to collect food waste from households separately to other bin collections.

Wirral Council’s Environment, Climate Emergency and Transport Committee met at Wallasey Town Hall on Monday 27th January 2025.

A normal schedule of bin collections will resume in Wirral from Monday 27 January, though not all grey bin collections will be completed this week.

Having completed the work on the Full Business Case, which included both financial and qualitative assessments of three options, the favoured option in terms of cost and risk is the fully outsourced option.

All Wirral households will get a grey bin (recycling) collection this week, following last week’s green bin-only collections.

From Monday 20 January, all household bin collections will be for grey bins (recycling).
