One part of Merseyside is set to see a major change in the way household recycling is done.
St Helens Borough Council approved the changes as part of a resources and waste strategy meeting last week. The changes, which are to be brought in later this year, will see every household receiving a new set of recycling bags.
With the current setup, a combination of bags and solid recycling containers/boxes are used for household recycling. These include black, grey and green boxes, as well as pink and white bags for some items.
