Liverpool to introduce new 'underground super-bins' in bid to clean up city

Liverpool City Council is set to launch an 'underground revolution' that will see 'subterranean super-bins' introduced around the city.

Just days after it launched a new partnership with Keep Britain Tidy, the council is looking to end a rubbish issue for huge swathes of the city, by installing large new underground bins. The innovative scheme to retrofit waste collection in built-up urban areas is set to be the first of its kind in the UK.

The recommendation to begin consultations on introducing underground bins in several wards of the city will go to the council’s Cabinet next Friday, June 24. If it gets the green light the scheme will see these huge bins placed in 140 locations in densely built-up areas, many of which will replace some of the existing temporary communal bins.
