North Hertfordshire Council covers Hitchin, Letchworth, Baldock, Royston and the surrounding villages, sharing its waste service with East Herts. Note the colour trap: the purple-lidded bin is for general rubbish. Non-recyclable waste, mixed recycling and paper/card are collected on a three-weekly cycle, with food weekly.
North Herts runs three bins on a three-weekly rotation — purple for rubbish, black for mixed recycling, blue for paper and card — plus weekly food and a paid garden bin. It's a lot to track. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from North Herts. You can also check the council's own page at north-herts.gov.uk.
North Herts collects the purple-lidded rubbish bin, the black-lidded mixed-recycling bin and the blue-lidded cardboard and paper bin on an alternating three-weekly cycle (one bin each week). Be careful — the purple-lidded bin is for non-recyclable rubbish here. Food waste is collected weekly. Garden waste is a paid subscription 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.
Yes. We track North Herts's published schedule, including the shifts that bank holidays and seasonal changes cause, so your reminder always reflects the real collection date.
No — My Bin Day is an independent service and is not affiliated with North Herts or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
