The District Council are introducing Alternate Refuse Collections from November and this weekend will be holding a roadshow in Hertford to explain how it all works.
The Roadshow will visit Sele Farm on Friday and on Saturday will be outside Castle Hall in The Wash from 10am until 4pm.
ARC is due to start in November. Once it has been introduced, householders will be able to put garden waste, food waste and cardboard in their brown bin. Because much less waste will be going in the black bin, it will be emptied on alternate weeks with the brown bin.
Householders will have a green box, as now, for paper and glass. They will also get a blue box for cans and plastic. We will be giving everyone a kitchen caddy which they can fill with food waste and empty in their brown bin when they wish.
People living in flats will continue to receive the usual weekly collections.
Councillor Terence Milner, Executive member for environment and conservation, said: "ARC will allow residents to recycle more materials easily and will benefit the environment. The road shows will provide a useful opportunity for anyone to ask questions directly from council staff."
