Peterborough bin collection dates for Christmas and new year confirmed
Everything you need to know about collection changes over the festive period
There will be a number of changes to bin collection dates in Peterborough over the festive period.
Bank holidays across Christmas and the new year mean alterations to the schedule must take place.
Four different types of bins are collected in Peterborough, including black bins for general waste, grey bins for food waste, green bins for recycling waste and an optional service of brown bins for garden waste.
Peterborough City Council has urged residents to continue to put their bins out by 6.45am on their revised collection days.
Household, recycling and food waste collections will all return to normal on January 6.
The last garden waste collection is on December 12 and these will restart from January 13.
