Easter bin collection changes

Your bin collection days will change following the Easter bank holiday weekend.

There are no changes to collection dates in March, including the Good Friday bank holiday (29 March). Collections will be one day later than usual the week beginning Easter Monday (1 April).

Collections will then return to normal from Monday 8 April.

Please ensure your bins or containers are on the boundary of your property by 7am on the day of your collection.

Easter recycling tips

Help make this Easter a waste-free celebration by recycling your Easter packaging:

• Easter egg foil: scrunch it into a ball along with any other used foil and place it in your recycling bin.
• Easter egg packaging: opt for Easter eggs with minimal packaging or recyclable materials. Flatten cardboard boxes before placing them in your kerbside recycling.
• Sweet wrappers: unfortunately these aren't currently recyclable in North Herts, unless you’re taking part in the FlexCollect trial. However, many supermarkets accept them for recycling along with plastic bags.
• Leftover Easter food: use up surplus Easter food creatively to avoid waste. Food scraps like eggshells can be composted or disposed of in your food waste caddy.
