Hertsmere Borough Council covers Borehamwood, Potters Bar, Bushey and Radlett in southern Hertfordshire. Watch the colour scheme: here the brown bin is for recycling and the green bin is for garden waste. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, with a weekly silver food bin.
Hertsmere's colours catch people out — brown is recycling, green is garden. Between those, the black refuse bin and the weekly silver food bin, My Bin Day keeps you right with a text the evening before each collection. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Hertsmere. You can also check the council's own page at hertsmere.gov.uk.
Hertsmere collects the black general-waste bin and the brown recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a silver food waste bin collected weekly. Note the colours: brown is mixed dry recycling here, and the green bin is for garden waste only (a paid subscription, around £55 a year, collected fortnightly). Hertfordshire County Council handles disposal.
My Bin Day is 99p a month — less than a coffee a year. Cancel any time by replying STOP to a reminder and you won't be charged again.
