Introduction

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and we are so ready to celebrate! There’s a certain charm and warmth about Christmas that gives us a special tingly feeling inside…

Making merry memories with our loved ones, getting festive with decorations, donning our Christmas jumpers, indulging in tasty treats and tipples and, of course, exchanging gifts.

Here at Zero Waste LCR, our role as Santa’s helpers is to ensure that residents discover ways to celebrate which don’t cost the earth.

Stats such as the ones above are why we are making this festive period our best snow fight yet – the reason why we are choosing to reuse, in a bid to tackle climate change.

The clock is ticking, and we are on a Santa dash to deliver our message as far and wide as we can to residents across all six districts of Liverpool City Region.

Residents of Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral – we are inviting you to the place where the spirit of giving meets sustainable living…


The Christmas Good List Guide

Our Good List guide covers a range of Christmas-themed activities – from gifts, gift wrap and greetings cards to Christmas trees and Christmas decorations, there are plenty of ways to get involved.

Aside from choosing to reuse, there are a host of other ideas which are less harmful to the environment, can stop unnecessary waste and save money – all in a way which doesn’t compromise the joy of the holidays…
