Collections and calendar

Last Modified June 11, 2013
 

We collect from your property on the same day every week and we encourage you to recycle as much of your waste as possible.

Every house should have a black bin, green bin, brown bin (or black box) and a blue box.

Your collections take place as follows:

  • On Week 1 we will collect your black bin and blue box.
  • On Week 2 (the same day the following week) we will collect your green bin and brown bin/black box. 

 

 Week 1 black bin and blue box, Week 2 green bin and brown bin/black box

  

 

 

 

 

 

And so it goes on, alternating each week between black bin and blue box collections, and green bin and brown bin/black box collections the following week. 

All bins/boxes need to be placed on your boundary by 6.30am on the day of your collection.

What goes in each bin/box?

  1. Your black bin is for general rubbish you cannot recycle.
  2. Your brown bin (or black box) is for glass, cartons, plastic and cans.
  3. Your green bin is for garden waste, food and cardboard.
  4. Your blue box is for newspapers and magazines.

Welcome to Hertsmere Borough Council’s new website. In February this website will replace the existing www.hertsmere.gov.uk site as the best place to find information about Hertsmere and the services it offers.

Until then, you can explore the website by using this experimental trial (‘beta’) version.

PLEASE BE AWARE – this is a test website. It may contain inaccuracies or be misleading and links may not work. You should not use this site to contact us. Our old website remains the official website for Hertsmere until the end of February.
