Flats recycling

It is a priority of the Council to encourage all residents to recycle and reduce their waste. At present some residents of flats in the Borough find it difficult to recycle owing to a lack of facilities.

The Council has a number of units specifically for housing wheeled bins for recyclables. Receptacles are provided for newspaper and magazines, plastic bottles and cans mixed and glass bottles and jars. The units are placed in a communal area allowing for recycling crews to access and service.

If residents feel that their block of flats may benefit from recycling facilities, they are encouraged to express their interest in the service by e-mailing recycling@broxbourne.gov.uk or by calling the Helpline on 01992 785577.  

Managing agents are also asked to put forward suitable locations. Each block of flats put forward will be assessed for available space and suitability.

In the meantime, residents of flats without a recycling service are directed towards their nearest NRC where they can recycle paper, cans, glass,  plastics, cardboard and textiles.
