Three Rivers DC in Hertfordshire is the highest performing authority in England for household waste recycling, according to official government figures released last month. The district recorded a rate of 64.1% for the amount of household waste recycled, composted, or reused in 2019-20 in the figures published by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

How did we do it? Since 2011/12 Three Rivers has consistently been one of the top ten best performing authorities for recycling in England. In 2018/19 we came in third spot and this year we are delighted to have reached the top spot.
