Find your collection day

On your collection day please make sure:

  • Your containers are out by 6.30am
  • Your containers are placed at the front boundary of your property (or the usual storage place for assisted collections)
  • Your purple-lidded non-recycling bin does not have anything in it which could be recycled
  • Your recycling in your black-lidded bin is not bagged up
  • The bin lids are closed

Please note: 

  • Bin collections will change during public holidays. Use the online address look up tool to find your adjusted collection days.

You can also download the Your East Herts app for notifications of your bin collection days, and check which bin your waste should go in.

 

Due to the Early May Bank Holiday, bin collections from 4 to 8 May will take place one day later than usual. 

Collections return to normal from Monday 11 May. 

You can use the online address look-up took to find your adjusted collection days, or download the Your East Herts App to get notifications direct to our mobile device for your adjusted collection days. 

Please ensure your bins or containers are on the boundary of your property by 6.30am on the day of your collection.

As temperatures drop the contents of your bins can become frozen. Our crews will attempt to empty frozen bins but sometimes the contents can become stuck.
To avoid your bin not being emptied, please:  

  • Check the lid of your bin will open before collection is due
  • If you have a lot of garden waste, do not squash it into the bin
  • Loosen the waste by sliding a spade between the contents and the side of the bin
  • If possible, store your bin in a slightly warmer place, against a wall or inside a garage or shed
  • Try to keep liquid to a minimum in your kitchen and general waste bins. Moisture from bin bags in wheelie bins creates condensation, which makes wheelie bin lids more likely to freeze in very cold weather.
