Formby Recycling Centre will change to Summer hours on Easter Sunday
Residents will have the opportunity to recycle more from Sunday, April 1 (Easter Sunday) as the region’s Household Waste Recycling Centres open for an extra three hours every day.
The Formby recycling centre (the tip) is open every day throughout Easter including Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
The 14 Recycling Centres, which are provided by Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA) and operated by resource management company Veolia, will be switching to their summer opening hours, meaning they’ll be open from 8.00am until 8.00pm*, seven days a week.
The Recycling Centres are situated throughout the region with all 14 available to use for all Merseyside householders. They 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 lesser known 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 are planning to use a van or large trailer then you will need a Permit. Permits can be obtained free of charge by calling 0151 236 0305 or visiting www.merseysidewda.gov.uk.
*The Recycling Centres are open every day of the year, except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
