Peterborough keeps to a clear set of bins: black for rubbish, green for all your mixed recycling, brown for garden waste, and a grey caddy for food. Rubbish and recycling alternate week about, and Peterborough's green recycling bin even takes plastic film and carrier bags.
Peterborough City Council collects the black bin (general, non-recyclable household waste) and the green bin (mixed dry recycling — paper, card, glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, tubs, trays, film and carrier bags, metal tins, cans and foil, and cartons) on alternating fortnightly weeks. Food waste is collected weekly in a grey caddy. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid subscription. Extra recycling is taken if presented in clear tied bags or open cardboard boxes beside the green bin. Present bins by 6am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Peterborough. You can also check the council's own page at peterborough.gov.uk.
Peterborough collects the black (general waste) and green (mixed recycling) bins on alternating fortnights, with a weekly grey food caddy and a paid brown garden bin. The green bin even takes plastic film and carrier bags. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you never mix up black week with green week.
My Bin Day is 99p a month — less than a coffee a year. Cancel any time by replying STOP to a reminder and you won't be charged again.
