Black bin and food waste collections

Due to operational issues, we have had to reschedule collections for some areas on Friday 29 August 2025. We will now make the collections on Saturday 30 August 2025. This will affect black bin collections in Springfield and food waste collections in Boreham, and you can view a list of affected roads. We apologise for any inconvenience.
