Why should you recycle?

Using your blue bin properly leads to an easy bin day collection and a better environment.

Right now, Liverpool has the second lowest recycling rate in England. But working together we can improve recycling in our city.

When you separate your rubbish correctly, you not only avoid rejected bin collections but you’re also directly helping your local area become greener and cleaner and contributing to a more environmentally friendly world.

By using your blue bin correctly, you’re helping to:

— Keep your neighbourhoods and streets clean and tidy – especially during those windy months as overflowing bins can sometimes cause rubbish to be scattered around

— Cut waste management costs across the city.

— Reduce the amount air pollution created by incinerating waste

Every time you recycle, you’re also helping Liverpool play its part in:

— Reducing carbon emissions

— Supporting the reuse of natural materials instead of sourcing new ones

— Protecting wildlife and natural habitats from waste and pollution

— Tackling climate change

Violence against women and girls is a crime. Anyone who commits it should be reported and held to account, regardless of who they are or where they come from. Blaming communities does not prevent harm. Reporting perpetrators and supporting survivors does.

Liverpool’s stance is clear. Violence is never tolerated, and the law applies equally to everyone. Women and girls must be able to access help safely, confidently and without fear of being judged.

Need help?

If you are in immediate danger, call 999. You can call 999 without speaking, then press 55 when prompted to let police know you need help.

You can also access confidential support without involving the police.

Victim Care Merseyside has support for women and girls, including drop-in, referral and outreach services.

No one should face violence alone. By standing against abuse, challenging misinformation and supporting survivors, we can continue working together to make Liverpool a safer city for women and girls.
