Household Waste Recycling Centre
The household Waste Recycling Centre on Caxton Way is a free service provided by Hertfordshire County Council.
Further Information
- Green Garden Waste which has been shredded and composted is available for sale at all of the Recycling Centres at £2.90 for a 40 litre bag which covers the cost of bagging and delivery from the compost site to the centre.
- There are no height barriers and therefore no restrictions on the type of vehicle that residents can use to take waste to a Recycling Centre except where the size or layout of the centre is restricted and a large vehicle or vehicle and trailer could present a Health and Safety risk. All vans and larger commercial type vehicles will be checked by site staff to ensure that the waste they are delivering is household waste and not waste from trade or business activities.
- The County Council operates a free of charge collection service for small quantities of waste asbestos arising from DIY activities and for certain household chemicals.
- 30% of the contents of the average household bin can be composted at home with the benefit of creating free soil conditioner for your garden. The County Council has arranged for home composters to be available at greatly reduced prices (as little as £7) from Blackwall Ltd. Call them on 0870 8443020 and ask about the Hertfordshire offer.
