Wirral Council is set to raise the charge for garden waste bins in the borough by more than 15%.
The local authority said due to the rising costs of providing the brown bin service, residents will have to pay £50 for it, up from £43. If residents want a second bin they will have to pay £30, up from £25 currently.
Residents who pay for the brown bin service by direct debit will automatically be signed up for the increased charge unless they cancel by April 24. If subscribers want to make other changes to their package, such as adding another brown bin or reducing the number of bins they pay for, they can do so once the new subscription period opens on April 11.
