The greener way to collect recycling…
Starting 21 October 2024, Watford will switch to fortnightly recycling collections for houses and flat blocks of 5 or less, following the example of 80% of councils across the country.
For those residents who diligently separate and recycle their waste, we applaud your efforts! Thanks to you Watford is in the top 20% in England for recycling. If you find your bin filling up quickly each week, we've compiled some helpful tips to maximise space and make the most of your recycling efforts:
- Before tossing recyclables into your bin, crush and flatten items like plastic bottles and cans
- Remove excess packaging from items and break down large cardboard boxes
- Compact your plastics and cans to create additional room
But what if you still need more space? We've got solutions for that too!
- Households with four or more permanent residents can apply for a second 240-litre blue-lidded bin to accommodate their recycling needs.
Apply by clicking the button to request your new bin which, can either be collected for free from the Veolia depot or delivered to your doorstep for a small charge.
