Home composting

Compost is easy to make and use. It is relatively cheap and does not take up too much space. It is a natural process that converts your garden and kitchen waste into a rich food source for your garden.

Nappy reward scheme

Using real nappies reduces waste and saves you money. In partnership with Hertfordshire County Council, we're giving parents who use real nappies a reward.

Adopt A Road

The Adopt a Road scheme is for willing participants to carry out works which are supplementary to the council's work, helping to keep our borough looking clean and green, in and around areas where you live or work.

S.C.R.A.P fly-tipping
