Catch-up bin collections will take place this week following the end of the industrial dispute involving refuse staff at Biffa.
Wirral Council is asking people to put their bin out on their normal scheduled day and has issued the following advice about additional collections:
- If your green bin was scheduled for collection on Monday 26 December/Saturday 24 December – put it out from 7am on Tuesday 3 January and it will be collected on 3/4 January.
- If your green bin was scheduled for collection on Tuesday 27 December – put it out from 7am on Thursday 5 January and it will be collected on 5/6 January.
The search facility to check bin collection days and what colour bin to put out has been temporarily taken down from the council’s website because it is unable to cope with the high number of visitors.
Wirral Council said: “If you are unsure of which bin to put out, the best option until the website is fixed is to put both bins out for collection on your schedule day and the bin crew will empty the correct bin for the collection week they are doing.
“Details for rescheduling of garden waste collections missed as a result of industrial action will be confirmed next week.
“Alleyway crews are back working on scheduled rounds and will be picking up any reported fly tips in alleyways where access is restricted.”
Leaf fall clearance will resume on Tuesday 3 January.
