We're appealing for businesses to help with supplies of food and essentials for Knowsley's most vulnerable residents. Can your company help? We'd love to hear from you.

Whilst we are continuing to provide essential services, such as emptying bins, we ask that everyone works together and help us to help you. Remember on your bin days to park considerately - if we can't get down your road, we can't empty your bins. In such instances, you don't need to report a missed bin. We'll make a note and return. Please don't leave out side waste as we can't collect it and remember to ensure your bin lid is fully closed.
