Any changes to our waste and recycling service will be updated here.
Please respect our staff. We will not tolerate any abusive behaviour towards our team. Thank you for your cooperation.
Residents in Hertsmere will receive improved household waste and recycling collections under plans to boost recycling and meet our environmental commitments, helping the borough to reduce avoidable waste.
We are unable to increase collections or collect any additional side waste.
Please continue to use your brown bin to full capacity, wash and squash bottles/cans, cut up cardboard and if unable to fit all recycling in the bin please store it until the following collection or take it to a Recycling Centre.
Black bin waste should also be stored as cleanly as possible, i.e. wash out any non-recyclables, dirty foil, etc and use your green bin for food waste.
