Liverpool Council has given an update on stickers being issued as part of its new controversial green bin collection scheme.
Garden waste bins that were paid for through a £40 a year charge were picked up for the first time yesterday as the programme got underway. As the scheme enters its first week, Cllr Abdul Qadir, cabinet member for neighbourhoods, has asked residents to bear with the local authority as it encounters “implementation issues”.
Those who signed up for the scheme by Friday April 8 will have their bins collected this week alongside scheduled recycling pick-ups. A sticker, corresponding to the address of the property printed on it, will have been sent in the post. This must be placed on the green bin to ensure collection.
