What to do with your green waste during winter months in Southport

Residents in Sefton are being reminded that any excess green waste can be taken to their nearest Household Waste Recycling Centre or composted at home.

Last week (Monday, November 22nd) green waste collections were suspended for winter due to unavoidable operational pressures, resulting in a collection a week earlier than previously anticipated.

For those residents who missed the final collection date, the local authority’s incredibly hard working cleansing teams will be attempting to revisit some areas where outstanding green bins have been left out for collection.

A full garden waste collection service will resume in March 2022.

The vast majority of grey and brown bin collections over the Christmas period will take place on their normal day of collection and, for those on an alternating weekly wheelie bin collection, according to the normal brown/grey bin pattern.

The only exceptions are:

Saturday 25th December 2021 to be collected Sunday 26th December 2021
Monday 27th December 2021 to be collected Sunday 26th December 2021
Saturday 1st January 2021 to be collected Sunday 2nd January 2022
