Liverpool City Council is seeking input from residents to help steer the future of recycling efforts in the city through a new public survey. In collaboration with Influential, a local research and marketing agency, the Council is conducting research to better understand how residents handle their waste and to pinpoint methods for increasing recycling rates. Despite nearly one-fifth of waste in the purple bin being recyclable in the blue bin, recycling rates in Liverpool remain low at 17.9%.
The Council introduced a new Recycling and Waste Strategy earlier in the year, stressing the importance of improving recycling and waste practices citywide to positively impact the environment. One notable change on the horizon is the introduction of a weekly food waste collection for all residents in addition to the existing purple and blue bin collection schedule, which will become mandatory across England by next April. To further improve recycling efforts, the Council is exploring ways to ensure the correct materials are being deposited in the blue recycling bin.
Residents are urged to participate in a brief online survey to share their perspectives and experiences with recycling at home. In the coming weeks, interviewers will be present in prominent areas of the city to engage with residents and gather their feedback. The insights gathered will inform a forthcoming recycling campaign set to roll out in Liverpool later this year. Furthermore, following a survey that highlighted concerns about littering, dog fouling, and fly-tipping among residents, the Council has taken action to address these issues by establishing a new internal environmental enforcement team and increasing penalties for environmental offenses.
Councillor Laura Robertson-Collins, Cabinet Member for Communities, Neighbourhoods, and Streetscene, emphasized the impact of small changes in waste habits on the environment and Liverpool’s carbon footprint. By participating in the survey, residents can help identify obstacles to increased recycling and contribute to the development of a campaign that promotes recycling and waste reduction for all. Together, through these collective efforts, significant changes can be made to benefit the environment and community as a whole
