Welcome To Wirral
Recycling waste
Rubbish dumped in landfill sites is a waste of natural resources and energy and can be a source of pollution. The number of suitable new landfill sites is diminishing and the existing sites are filling up. To tackle these problems, councils are now obliged to reduce the amount they send to landfill. Recycling is a way to do this.
Recycling has been around for a long time. The Chinese were recycling as long as 2,000 years ago and so were the Romans. It's easier than even in Wirral with your grey and brown wheelie bins. Try and recycle as much as you can in your wheelie bins and then check out our other recycling disposal sites for other items like foil, textiles and books.
The other pages in this section provides lots of information about waste and recycling.
