21st December 2019

There are household waste recycling centres located around the borough which take materials such as paper, glass, textiles, rubble and other household rubbish for recycling. They are managed by Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA).

Where are they?

What are the opening times?

  • 1 October – 31 March  8am – 5pm

Asbestos waste is only accepted at specific household waste recycling centres. Please contact MRWA to arrange an appointment. Alternatively you may wish to use the bulky item collection service for the disposal of large household items. Please be aware any materials not put inside the banks provided but left on the ground will be treated as fly tipping and could result in a prosecution.
