MRWA NEWS 📰 | COMMUNITY GROUPS! The Zero Waste Community Fund for 2026/27 is now live. We’ve made £165,000 available for reuse, waste reduction and recycling projects across the region. 👇 merseysidewda.gov.uk/2026/02/165000… #ZeroWasteLCR

#Notice | We are aware of temporary roadworks currently affecting access to our Southport Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC). Access remains available via the HWRC entrance, although visitors may experience some delays while the works are in place. We would encourage residents to allow a little extra time for their visit and follow any temporary signage in the area ✅ Please DO NOT use the Transfer Station entrance ❌ The works are expected to remain in place until 5th April and we will continue to monitor the situation.

Please keep bagged waste out of the household recycling bin. Even if the bag contains recyclable items, it cannot be separated at the recycling facility meaning it has to be removed and disposed of. #RecycleRight
