NEW temporary tips have been set up in Warrington as the bin strikes continue to cripple the town.

From tomorrow, Tuesday, two additional drop-off points for household waste will be open.

These will be located at:

Victoria Park, Knutsford Road, WA4 1DG

Alder Lane, Orford, WA2 8AG (the car park near the community centre at the end of Alder Lane by the bowling greens)

The community drop-off points will be open Monday-Friday from 10am to 4pm.

A spokesperson for Warrington Borough Council said: “Please do not leave household waste at either drop-off point outside of the 10am-4pm opening hours.

“At each drop-off point, there will be skips to dispose of your normal, bagged household waste.

“Please only use these drop-off points for rubbish that you would put in your black bin at home. “

The drop-off points are not for:

  • household recycling or garden waste
  • business/ trade waste and any materials you would normally need a permit to dispose of
  • vans, trailers or large vehicles
  • any waste that wouldn’t normally go in your black bin (eg appliances, large household waste items, furniture of any size)

The new drop-offs are in addition to the three community recycling centres in Woolston, Stockton Heath, and Great Sankey.

It comes after residents have been crying out for skips to be installed around the town to combat mountains of bin bags that are currently lining many streets throughout the borough.

And it also follows the news that the council's High Court case seeking to impose an interim injunction to end the bin strikes was not granted.
