Wirral top of recycling table!

18th April 2008

Wirral Council has emerged as top of the recycling table in Merseyside.

Figures recently released by Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority show that Wirral recycled 31.68% of its household waste between April 2007 and December 2007, putting the borough ahead of the region's four other authorities.

Wirral's success comes after the implementation of grey recycling bins and an alternate weekly collection, as part of a new waste contract with Biffa.

The new figure of 31.68% compares to the previous year's figure of 13.5% of household waste being recycled.
