After speaking with East Herts Council today as it was noted the refuse vehicle came, but failed to collect 14 of our black bins I was informed that the Communal Bin Collection Day will now be on a Friday. They will however continue to collect the individual residents’ bins on a Wednesday as normal (the non-Leat Close Management Association residents in the private houses).

What To Do If There Is An Issue With Bin Collections?

Should you ever have any concerns regarding missed bin collections or other issues, then East Herts Council have advised that you contact them directly:

https://www.eastherts.gov.uk/missedbin

Alternatively their Customer service opening hours are Monday to Friday 8.30am – 5pm and the number is:

Telephone: 01279 655261

Please make a note of this information for future reference.

As some of you may be unaware, the bin areas are for household waste, garden waste and recycling. There are signs on top of the bins which notify the types of rubbish allowed.

We have noticed that non-household is also being left in the bin areas (like the green chair above) which does cost the Association money to remove which unfortunately comes out of your annual management fees. We ask that residents respect others and take non-household waste to the local waste disposal site (the nearest one is in Harlow – River Way, Temple Bank, Harlow – 0845 603 7625).

Your help is appreciated.
