Household Recycling Centre accepting bulky waste again - as Peterborough City Council explains what went wrong
Sofas, mattresses and other bulky waste items were not accepted at the Peterborough Household Recycling Centre on Saturday (November 14).
The Peterborough Household Recycling Centre is fully open again on Sunday (November 15) after it had to stop accepting bulky waste, including sofas and mattresses on Saturday (November 14).
Peterborough City Council put out an alert on Saturday, telling residents about the restriction.
Now they have confirmed it is fully open again - and have explained why the temporary closure was put in place.
On social media, a spokesperon said: “ The Household Recycling Centre is open again as usual today. We thank people for their patience and understanding yesterday, when staff had to manage a broken down lorry which restricted access to parts of the site and therefore the amount of waste that could be accepted.”
