Rubbish, waste and recycling

provided by Enterprise Peterborough, further information about the

Please note: On windy days crews will
take every precaution to return bins in such a way as to minimize
chances of them being blown into the road – this may mean your
food bins are left lying down rather than leaving them standing for
the wind to blow them over and risk damage or loss.
Please note: Where bin collections are not possible due to
safety concerns collection crews will return to empty those bins as
soon as it is safe to do so.
