Food waste collections in Boreham
Due to operational issues, we have had to reschedule food waste collections for some areas of Boreham on Friday 10 April 2026. We will now make the collections on Saturday 11 April 2026. We apologise for any inconvenience. You can view a list of affected roads.
‘Simpler Recycling’ rules
The government recently brought in new rules about what councils have to collect and recycle. This is to help standardise collections across England. However, our current recycling scheme is already compliant with rules, meaning we have not had to make any changes.
