Essex residents can continue to use Hertfordshire recycling centres thanks to an agreement. The agreement with Hertfordshire County Council means current reciprocal arrangements are being maintained.
Essex residents will now need a digital permit to visit Hertfordshire recycling centres. This will only allow them to use the Bishops Stortford, Hoddesdon, Turnford and Ware sites.

Hertfordshire or Essex residents visiting sites in Essex must book a slot in advance.
Councillor Peter Schwier, Essex County Council’s Climate Czar and Cabinet Member for Environment, Waste Reduction and Recycling, said:
The council is committed to minimising the impact on the environment by supporting residents to reduce waste and increase the amounts recycled, so I’m pleased that we have been able to come to an agreement that enables residents from both counties to continue to be able to use a recycling centre that is close to where they live.
Supporting residents to recycle as much as possible, as easily as they can, is key to our ambition to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions for Essex by 2050 and helping our communities and natural environment adapt and thrive as the climate changes.
