Gardeners could face £50-a-year-fee for green waste as a new weekly food-rubbish service is proposed.
Hertsmere Borough Council wants to charge £50-a-year for garden waste collection. Pictured: Cllr Paul Richards.
Hertsmere Borough Council’s cabinet will meet on September 20 for a full vote on the suggested changes in Bushey and the rest of Hertsmere. “It also means an end to your food waste rotting in overflowing bins for a whole fortnight between collections, as at present.”The Liberal Democrat councillor for Bushey North also said: “While we don’t take introducing new charges lightly, it’s much fairer than raising council tax – as 6,000 homes in the borough don’t have a garden.“Few other councils still do it for free, and it’s no longer viable here in Hertsmere if we’re serious about playing our proper part in protecting the environment.
