Major change for people heading to tips across Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens, Wirral, Halton and Knowsley
A major change has been introduced for people planning to visit one of the region’s 16 recycling centres in the next six months.
Liverpool City Region’s waste recycling centres are set to switch from summer opening hours to winter hours from today (October 1).
All 16 Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) in the Liverpool City Region, are operated by Veolia on behalf of Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA). The Centres provide a popular service for residents and can become extremely busy at peak times so visits should be planned carefully.
Previously explaining the change in opening times, Lesley Worswick, chief executive of MRWA, said: “We shorten the hours over the winter to coincide with the darker nights over the forthcoming months.
“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.”
