The plastic wrappers will be destined for landfill sites. Green Party leader Tom Crone said it was ironic and "clearly a bad decision" by the Labour-led council to wrap the leaflet in unnecessary packaging.
Mr Crone said the move had "probably been counter-productive". "It's clearly quite ironic to inform people about recycling with a leaflet that has been wrapped in an unnecessary level of packaging which itself is non-recyclable," he said. Liverpool City Council said the leaflets had been distributed by a contractor.

A statement said: "Wherever possible we use recycled material - the leaflet itself is printed on recycled paper. The information in the leaflet is important to householders and it was felt if it was delivered just as a leaflet there was a danger it would be considered as junk mail and not read - using a transparent cover drew attention to the leaflet."
