New blue recycling bins will soon be wheeled out to homes across Sefton, meaning a fourth receptacle for households.
Sefton Council proposed the introduction of new blue recycling bins for glass earlier this year.
They will add to the existing grey (general waste), brown (general recycling) and green (garden waste), plus an optional food caddy service.
Liberal Democrat councillors John Pugh, Iain Brodie-Browne and Pat Keith ‘Called In’ the proposals, questioning how local residents would be able to accommodate an extra wheelie bin while also questioning the environmental benefits of the scheme.
But on Monday, councillors on Sefton Council’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee dismissed the concerns and voted for the bins to be ordered.
The vote means 100,000 blue wheelie bins will be delivered to people’s homes in February and March next year, with separate glass recycling collections due to start in March and April.
The move has been prompted by the Government requiring some items of recycling waste to be collected separately as part of its new Environment Bill.
This is due to the weight of glass collected, which is around 7,000 tonnes annually.
Collecting glass separately produces much higher quality material which can be used for closed loop recycling, and used for re-melt rather than aggregate, making it infinitely recyclable into new glass jars and bottles.
The quality of the other materials (paper, cardboard and tin cans) collected in brown bins will also be much higher delivering better quality material for recycling, this is vital in improving recycling in the UK, allowing it to be reprocessed in local facilities.
The scheme would cost Sefton Council £1.65million, with the additional service costing an extra £185,000 per year to run.
The cost of this and the updating of the cleansing vehicle fleet will be offset by £400,000 of recycling income generated annually over 10 years from the Merseyside Recycling & Waste Authority, as a result of Sefton Council removing glass from its general recycling collections.
Peter Moore, Sefton Council’s Head of Highways and Public Protection, said in a report: “This change to collecting glass recycling items will make a positive contribution to Sefton’s Climate Change Strategy as well as to the Region’s environmental impact.
“I realise it will mean we are asking residents to separate out their glass items from other recycling but residents across the borough have been supportive of recycling and our climate change agenda, particularly as it is a way of us keeping down costs too.”
In its Environment Bill, which could become law in late 2020, the Government is asking for one ‘core’ item of recycling to be collected separately. Having reviewed the core items, due to weight of the product, the ease with which it can be separated and the potential for generating income, Sefton proposed removing glass from the current brown bin collection.
Mr Moore said: “This fits well with other actions we are taking to improve waste storage, collection and recycling. This Autumn we will be providing wheeled bins to approximately 5,000 houses that currently rely on black bin bag collections. and, in early 2021 European-style, communal bins to approximately 5,000 others where a wheeled bin isn’t practical.”
Peter Moore also thanked Sefton Council’s cleansing teams whom he said had made a ‘sterling effort’ to provide the borough’s residents with regular refuse collections throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

Being the only flat owner within a hmo having an additional recycling bin is pointless. Tenants do not recycle! They through everything in the grey euro bin, which is full to over flooring come collection day! And the brown euro recycling bin is empty except for my disposal. Plus living in a hmo building who is going to be bothered putting the new blue bin out on the pavement for collection??!! Or will sefton council collection guys come up the drive to collect it? They don’t do this for any other wheelie bin!

Semi-formal attire is more fancy than business attire but just a notch below formal tuxedos and fancy gowns. Lots of businesses have had a casual Friday policy for some time, around 57 percent, according to one survey. Moreover, 82 percent of workers said feeling comfortable in their clothes helps them be more productive. And with that sort of endorsement, it’s no wonder that business casual has become, well, what else but fashionable. Each of these pieces are great on their own because they will flatter most body types. Business casual shoes, black blazers, dress pants, shirts, and long pencil skirts are classic wardrobe pieces that will fit most business dress codes. And, if you put them together in the right way, you can create an extensive list of business casual work outfits quickly and easily each morning. Not only does this take the stress and hassle out of finding an office outfit to wear each day, but who doesn’t love to save money at the same time?

When it comes to workout outfits, Old Navy is our best-kept secret. The store is full of amazing matching workout sets that can take you from yoga class to a marathon. The best part is that they come at bargain prices. We like the PowerPress strappy sports bra because it gives you real support and comes in sizes up to XXL. The high-waisted PowerPress leggings go up to 4X and have a compression jersey and flat-lock seams for no chafing. For All Orders Over $150 Before skinny leggings were ever the norm, there was something else we all wore: Flare leggings. Well, they’re back, and this outfit from Athleta is about to let you live your best retro life in the most modern way possible. The Dusk Violet set has a crossover strappy bra with feather-soft fabric. The Transcend leggings are great for your next low-impact workout, like yoga or barre class.
