Tues, Nov 10th

Although our ARC waste collection service started last week, today was the first day that our local council collected our recycle waste. Since we moved to Hertford, the council has been collecting paper, glass, aluminium cans, and garden waste. From this month, they will also collect plastics, cardboard and food waste, too. In addition to the new bins, we will now have our recycle waste and general waste collected on alternate Tuesdays. Hence, ARC (Alternate Refuse Collection).

For all those who complain about the EU, this would not have happened without a directive from Brussels making it compulsory for the collection of five different recyclable materials.
