Communal Properties
We have recently introduced a weekly food waste collection for communal properties. We are working on updating signage and bins where possible at communal properties, we anticipate this will take a few months, but please do let us know if you have any concerns about your communal bins.
We offer recycling facilities to communal properties where it is possible to do so.
East Herts Council accepts cans, plastic, glass, cartons, foil and plastic bags and wrappings in one bin (marked mixed recycling), and cardboard and paper in a separate one. For further details on what can be recycled please visit our what goes in my bins page. For further information, please see our Communal and Shared Waste and Recycling Services leaflet.
If your development does not have bins for recycling and you would like them, please call us on 01279 655261 or contact us via our contact us page.
Extra Capacity
East Herts council will provide the required amount of refuse containers for communal properties.
- Please use the bins sensibly and when one bin is full please use another bin which is partly full.
- The bins will not be emptied if they are overfilled or obstructed by waste on the floor.
- Please ensure that the refuse bins are not obstructed by vehicles on collection day. Our operatives can visit anytime from 6am until 5pm.
- Electrical Items should be taken to your nearest Household Waste Recycling centre (tip).
- Remember to advise us if the security codes, keys or key fobs for access to the bin areas have changed.
If you do not have enough capacity for your waste or recycling requirements please call 01279 655261 (ext. 7140) or see our contact us form to request an assessment of your bin store.
