In the autumn East Herts Council will be introducing major changes to your refuse and recycling services. The scheme is called ARC — Alternate Refuse Collection. You’ll be able to recycle more materials more easily.

Food waste and cardboard can be added to garden waste in your brown bin and it will all be composted. Another new material we’ll be collecting from your kerbside is plastic bottles and we’ll give you a blue box for them. Because you’ll be putting much less in your black bin we’ll only need to collect it once a fortnight, with your brown bin collected on the alternate week.

To find out more information and ask questions about ARC please come to Little Hadham Village Hall on Tuesday 7 July at 8pm where a representative of East Herts Council will talk to you about the scheme.
