Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council covers Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield and the surrounding Hertfordshire villages. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, with a weekly food waste collection.
Between the fortnightly black and blue bins, the weekly food caddy and a paid garden bin, Welwyn Hatfield's schedule is easy to muddle. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right bin goes out. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime. This information was correct at the time of writing; the council has proposals to change its collection schedule currently under review, so your service may be updated in future.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Welwyn Hatfield. You can also check the council's own page at welhat.gov.uk.
Welwyn Hatfield collects the black general-waste bin and the blue recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly green food caddy. The blue bin takes paper, card, plastics, metals, cartons and glass. Garden waste is a paid subscription (around £35 a year) collected fortnightly. Hertfordshire County Council handles disposal, and note the county is due to reorganise into new unitary councils in the coming years. Food waste is recycled locally into biogas.
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.
