### From Tuesday 1st April the region’s Centres will be open from 8.00am until 8.00pm\*.

There are [16 Household Waste Recycling Centres](#HWRCs) in the region. They are operated by resource management company Veolia on behalf of Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA).

**Lesley Worswick, Chief Executive of MRWA, said:** “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. The lighter spring and summer nights mean we can stay open for longer.”

**Householders can check** [**www.recycleright.org.uk**](http://www.recycleright.org.uk/) **for details of what can be accepted at their local site.**

The Centres provide a popular service for residents and can become extremely busy at peak times so visits should be planned carefully. There is a system in place for those who wish to visit in a van or with a large trailer. Bookings can be made at:

- Merseyside residents can book at [www.merseysidewda.gov.uk](http://www.merseysidewda.gov.uk/)
- Halton residents can make a booking with Halton Council at [www.halton.gov.uk](http://www.halton.gov.uk/)
