Deputy council boss 'desperately disappointed' as bin collections cancelled until next year

The deputy chief executive of Wirral Council said he is "desperately disappointed" as ongoing strikes mean that the borough will see no bin collections until well into the new year.

Negotiations between waste collection workers and Biffa bosses failed to reach a pay agreement on December 23, meaning strike action will go ahead from December 28 to 30, January 3 to 6, and January 16 to 21 2023.

This means there will be no bulk bin collections, bulky waste collections, street cleaning, emptying of public litter bins or removal of fly tipping in Wirral until January 7, and no household bin collections until January 9.
