Green residents in Bushey and Radlett can take part in an expanded recycling scheme starting later this year.

Hertsmere Borough Council will be launching a scheme that allows residents to recycle glass bottles and jars and a greater range of plastics.

Communal bins for plastic bottles and cans as well as paper have also recently been installed at Wells Field and Mayfield Court in Bushey and Fairfield Close, Orchard Close and Phillimore Place in Radlett.

Conservative councillor Jean Heywood, environment portfolio holder, said: "The roll out of recycling facilities at flats is going well and I would like to thank residents for getting on board with the scheme and helping us divert more waste from landfill.

"We will continue to work with local housing associations, management organisations and residents to help make recycling at flats easier."

Paper and plastic bottles and cans will be collected on alternate weeks.

Normal waste that cannot be recycled will continue to be collected from communal bins on a weekly basis.

Full details of the scheme will be delivered to homes when the scheme rolls but if you live in a flat and want to find out more contact the council on 020 8207 7480 or email street.scene@hertsmere.gov.uk
