Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority

About us

Waste Management and Recycling Contract - enables the Authority to deliver its services by:

- managing the municipal waste which has been collected by the District Councils of Merseyside under their own Refuse Collection and Street Cleansing Contracts.

- the provision of 14 Household Waste Recycling Centres in the Merseyside area specifically for residents to take their own waste for disposal or to be recycled.

The Authority is also responsible for the aftercare of a number of closed landfill sites, which historically had been operated by the Authority or its predecessors. These include the former landfill sites at Bidston Moss and Sefton Meadows.

Financing
