Crew and Waste Vehicle
Just five months after East and North Herts introduced the biggest change to waste and recycling services in over a decade, residents across both districts have achieved one of the sharpest reductions in non-recyclable waste either council has ever seen. Waste collected from residents’ purple-lidded bins has fallen by 5,883 tonnes compared with the same period last year.
