ST HELENS’ bulky rubbish collection service is set to return on Monday, June 1.

Bookings will start being taken via the Contact Centre by phone or online from Monday, May 25.

The service was suspended in March alongside recycling collections to prioritise staff resources around household waste and clinical collections.

To book a collection, and learn more about the service, including costs and restrictions, go to www.sthelens.gov.uk/bulkyrubbish or call 01744 676789.

The council says announcement is to be made soon about the resumption of the garden waste subscription service.
