WIRRAL recycling centres are set to switch to winter opening hours next week.
From Monday, October 1 recycling centres in Bidston, West Kirby and Clatterbridge will switch to 8am until 5pm - changing from summer opening hours 8am to 8pm.
During this time, West Kirby Recycling Centre will be closed for key maintenance works from October 1 until Sunday, October 14 and will reopen on Monday, October 15.
Chief executive of Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA) Carl Beer said: “We shorten the hours over the winter to coincide with the darker nights over the forthcoming months.
"Householders can use the Centres to recycle a host of items - from cans, car batteries and cardboard to garden waste, large plastics, scrap metal, textiles and timber, and more.”
Anyone planning to visit a recycling centre in a van or with a long trailer will need a Permit to get in – visit www.merseysidewda.gov.uk or call 0151 236 0305 for more information.
