Welcome to Peterborough Garbage and Recycling
As part of Waste Management, we oversee your weekly garbage, recycling and seasonal green waste.
The City of Peterborough's online calendar tool for garbage and recycling collection is a convenient way to get information on our waste collection services.
Large item pickup
Large item pickup is complete for 2020, and will resume spring 2021. There will be six large article collection dates starting April 2021. Check back here to book online.
Recycling is one way that we contribute to environmental sustainability and reduce the amount of waste that goes to the landfill. For matters related to recycling collection, please call 705-742-3139 for assistance.
