Jobs to be created with launch of commercial waste collection service in Peterborough

The Mick George Group has announced the revival of the service that it says was a major success before the Covid-19 pandemic.

The company says a number of jobs will be created by the service that will cover Peterborough and the rest of Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Milton Keynes and Leicestershire.

A spokesperson said: “This action follows sustained demand from customers seeking reliable, locally operated waste solutions from a trusted provider.

"The relaunch is expected to support local economies through the creation of new jobs in operational and customer-facing roles.”

As part of the relaunch, the Group has invested heavily in modern Material Recycling Facilities that will ensure greater material recovery, enhanced waste segregation, and more efficient processing, ensuring improved sustainability outcomes for clients. Customers will benefit from flexible collection schedules, a range of bin sizes, account support and competitive pricing.

Neil Johnson, technical waste director at Mick George Group, said: “We’re delighted to reintroduce our Commercial Waste Bin Collection service to businesses across the region.

"Over recent years we’ve expanded our total waste management capabilities and invested heavily in recycling infrastructure, which now puts us in a strong position to offer a more sustainable, reliable and cost-effective service than ever before.

"Clients have consistently told us they want a trusted, local partner for their day-to-day waste needs, and this relaunch is a direct response to that demand.

"We look forward to supporting organisations of all sizes with a more complete waste management solution.”

The new service will get under way from January 2026.
