Rubbish, Waste and Recycling
In 2007/08, residents in Three Rivers recycled about 47% of their waste, which was the highest recycling rate in Hertfordshire. We hope to reach, maintain and go beyond 50% shortly and would ask all resident to follow the information on this website to ensure the correct items are being placed out for collection.
WasteAware Hertfordshire Partnership has produced a leaflet explaining how materials are recycled.
Watch a film on recycling produced by young people.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all residents for their continued efforts.
