Hope the damage isn't too severe because this will cause major problems.

A message on the authority's facebook page advises that general waste, recycling and garden waste collections are all subject to delays as well as the ERIC bulky item collection service. A spokesperson said: "Please bear with us, teams are working hard to carry on with collections. Leave your bin out by 7am on it’s usual day until it is collected. "We appreciate your patience and we will update with more information soon." Bidston tip currently remains closed following the incident. Clicky Yesterdays report on the fire

The further you are down the pay scale, the more 'essential' you are when the s--- hits the fan...

My bin's out anyway - we shall see! Edit: from the Council's facebook page an hour ago - 'Bidston tip remains closed today due to a fire that took place over the weekend. Please do not visit the site. If you are planning a visit to West Kirby or Clatterbridge tips today, please be aware that there may be queues.' Last edited by Greenwood; 30th Jun 2020 8:25am.

I don't use Facebook and only found this because Wirral Globe got their info off that site. Anyway, there was an update last night on their Facebook site.

If your street was missed today, please have it out at its usual collection place by 7am tomorrow morning (Tuesday 30 June). So it looks like you will be ok today Greenwood.

Well someone in the council has still got a sense of humour anyway The further you are down the pay scale, the more 'essential' you are when the s--- hits the fan...
