Animal welfare
EHDC works with the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) along with independent organisation to protect the health and welfare of domesticated and wild animals. Contact them if you have concerns.
Bins
EHDC collects bins on alternate weeks and picks up glass for recycling on a monthly basis. Somewhat counterintuitively, black bins are for recycling, and green bins are for general waste. There is also a garden waste collection available for an extra cost.
Recycling bins will not be emptied if contaminated by unacceptable items. Guidelines on what can be put in the recycling bin can be found EHDC recycling guideline.
Bonfires
Burning rubbish might be an effective way to get rid of waste, but having a bonfire could stop your neighbours going outside, and make things worse for those who have existing health and lung conditions.

Council Tax
Payments can be managed online and there is also a hardship fund which residents can apply for should they need to. Details are available here.
Countryside
Access plans, rural community funds, trees, rights of way and design standards. All are available here.
Litter
EHDC has contractors who sweep roads, collect litter, and empty bins. It also takes responsibility for littering and dog waste. Please take your litter home, clean up after your dog, and report significant litter/fly-tipping.
