There are now less than two weeks left for residents to have
their say on the way that waste collection and disposal is managed across
Merseyside.
One of the key objectives is to reduce the amount of waste
that goes to landfill.
Issues up for debate include plans to stop collecting any black
sacks left alongside wheelie bins, and local councils joining forces to collect
waste. Sefton already carries out some of the proposals, such as alternate
weekly collection and food waste collection.
Once the Merseyside Waste Strategy has been agreed, it will
be up to each local council to decide how to implement it in their area.

Merseyside here and respond to the consultation here.
The consultation closes on 26th August.
