Final pick up of your green bin in Formby today till March

The green garden waste collections finish in November for the Winter. Most of Formby green bins are collected on the same day which means the final day this year is TODAY, Monday 14th November and the next collection after that date is Monday 20th March 2017.

What you need to know... All recycling can go together in the brown bins or hessian sacks. Please note that green wheelie bins can be emptied up until 8pm on collection days. Residents must not put any extra bags of general waste or recycling at the kerbside for collection.

Residents must ensure that the lids of their bins are fully closed when out for collection. If you have any additional waste or recycling that will not fit into your bin with a closed lid please take it to the nearest tip.

Formby recycling centre is your nearest and is now on Winter hours. As from Saturday 1st October the Centre will be open from 8.00am until 5.00pm – changing from the summer hours of 8.00am to 8.00pm.

If you’re planning to visit a Recycling Centre in a van or with a long trailer then you will need a Permit to get in. Please visit www.merseysidewda.gov.uk or call 0151 236 0305 for more information.

Please check your calendar for your last collection date in November to ensure you don’t miss it! www.sefton.gov.uk
