Bank holiday waste and recycling collections

Hertsmere's waste and recycling collections will 'slip a day' after the bank holiday on Monday:

Green/brown wheelie bin and blue box (Week 2)

• Monday 30 August - Tuesday 31 August
• Tuesday 31 August - Wednesday 1 September
• Wednesday 1 September - Thursday 2 September
• Thursday 2 September - Friday 3 September
• Friday 3 September - Saturday 4 September

Please use your kerbside collections to recycle as much waste as possible as rubbish cannot continue to be taken to landfill sites as space is rapidly running out.

No excess black or green/brown bin waste can be collected but extra recycling for your blue and black boxes can be put out in plastic carrier bags - please do not use black bin liners.

Please recycle glass at a local bank until you receive a new bin for glass, cartons, plastics and cans.

Please put your bins and boxes on your property boundary and close all lids.  If you have difficulty putting your bins and boxes out and no one else in your home can do it, please contact us as we can provide an assisted collection - please call 020 8207 7480 or email street.scene@hertsmere.gov.uk
