RECYCLING Centres are set to switch to their shorter winter opening hours from next week.
From Tuesday, October 1 the centres will be open from 8am until 5pm – changing from the summer hours of 8am to 8pm.
There are 16 Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) in the Liverpool City Region. They are operated by Veolia on behalf of Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA).
Lesley Worswick, Chief Executive of MRWA, said: “We shorten the hours over the winter to coincide with the darker nights over the forthcoming months.
“The Recycling Centres accept a range 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 food and drink cartons, clothes, hard plastics and electrical items.”
These changes will be in place until March 31 2025.
