East Hertfordshire collects general rubbish and mixed recycling on alternating fortnights, with paper and card kept separate in their own bin, and a weekly food caddy. Garden waste is a paid brown bin.
East Hertfordshire District Council (part of a shared waste service with North Herts) collects the refuse bin (general non-recyclable waste) fortnightly, on the alternate week to recycling. Mixed recycling (plastics, glass, tins and cans) goes in one recycling bin, while paper and cardboard are kept separate in a purple-lidded bin — both collected fortnightly on your recycling week. Food waste is collected weekly using a kitchen caddy and outdoor caddy. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly with your recycling. Properties without gardens use sacks plus a green paper box and recycling box. Present bins with the lid closed by 6am. Waste is disposed of via Hertfordshire County Council.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from East Herts. You can also check the council's own page at eastherts.gov.uk.
