Rubbish, waste and recycling
This section contains information about the waste collection services offered by the council.
This includes the rubbish, recycling and compost (brown bin) collections. You can also find out more about the council's neighbourhood recycling centres and bulky waste collections. As well as recycling, we also promote waste minimisation, including home composting and the use of real nappies. For more about street cleaning, please see our Streetscene section.

The council provides recycling centres across the borough where residents can recycle a range of materials. Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) are provided by Hertfordshire County Council for residents to recycle even more.
-
Taking responsibility for our waste involves more than just recycling. Waste reduction and reuse are environmentally the best way of dealing with waste.
-
To help improve Waste Awareness within the local community, the council's Waste and Recycling Officer is available to speak to interested groups about waste and recycling.
-
Private arrangements must be made for the disposal of trade waste via either a suitably licensed facility or, alternatively, a designated and licensed waste disposal contractor. This is a service that will have to be paid for.
-
Using real nappies reduces waste, but will also save you money. Because of the environmental benefits, the council will give parents who use real nappies £50 towards the cost of nappies.
-
A household refuse or recycling bin is classed as missed if it was placed on the boundary and was available at the time the collection took place.
-
If you have difficulty placing your refuse or recycling boxes on the boundary please contact us.

New legislation means you can now recycle your batteries in more places, more conveniently!
