New Waste Contract for North Herts
Veolia wins waste contract for North & East Herts councils
Following a competitive procurement process, North Herts and East Herts councils' next joint waste, recycling and street cleansing contract will be awarded to Veolia, starting from May 2025.
The councils will work with Veolia to introduce significant changes to waste and recycling services later in 2025, including a new three-weekly collection cycle, to enhance recycling opportunities for residents. Most residents will receive a new bin and the service will involve three weekly collection of:
- Mixed paper and cardboard in one bin
- All other dry recycling – glass, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, and cans and foil – with a new addition of plastic bags and film in another bin
- General (non-recyclable) waste
Garden waste and weekly food waste collections will remain unchanged.
In addition, the councils will operate a new fleet with vehicles which are 3.5t or under being zero emission.
