Litter

The council is responsible for street cleaning and litter-picking.

Hertsmere’s streets are divided into zones, depending on how often they are used; the more frequently a road is used, the more often it will be swept.

However, if the visual appearance of an area should deteriorate to an unacceptable level between cleans, it will be cleaned up within a certain time, as laid down in the Litter Code of Practice under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

If you feel your road is not swept satisfactorily, or you have any other comments or questions, please contact us at street.scene@hertsmere.gov.uk or call 020 8207 2277.
