More time for recycling
SEFTON residents will be able to recycle more from Sunday as the region’s household waste recycling centres open for an extra three hours a day.
The 14 recycling centres, provided by Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA) and operated by resource management company Veolia, will switch to summer opening, meaning they will be open from 8am until 8pm, seven days a week.
There are four centres in Sefton: Formby – Altcar Road. Sefton Meadows – Sefton Lane, Maghull.
Southport – Foul Lane, Scarisbrick New Road.
South Sefton – Irlam Road, Bootle.
The recycling centres accept all sorts of household materials for recycling, from batteries, cans and cardboard, through to garden clippings, glass bottles, wood, and white goods. They also accept items such as takeaway coffee cups, clothes, furniture and electrical items.
A van permit scheme is in operation at all the sites meaning if you plan to use a van or large trailer then you will need a permit.
Permits can be obtained free by calling 0151 236 0305 or visiting www.merseysidewda.gov.uk.
The recycling centres are open every day, except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
