❗️ Dates revealed! Weekly food waste collections are starting in Wirral from 6 July, in three phases:

🍏 The week beginning Monday 6 July
🧀 The week beginning Monday 27 July
🍞 The week beginning Monday 17 August

From June, you'll start receiving:

🗑️ An outdoor food waste caddy with a secure lid
🗑️ A smaller kitchen caddy for everyday use
🗑️ A roll of liners and information about how to use the service

A sticker on your outdoor caddy will tell you whether your food waste collections start on the week beginning 6 July, 27 July or 17 August. Your collections will be on the same day as your grey and green bin collection.

The new service is part of the Government’s ‘Simpler Recycling’ programme which has already seen a significant change this year in Wirral, with foil, aerosol sprays, plastic tubs and trays and drinks cartons now able to be recycled in your grey bins.

Look out for more updates soon.
