Collection |
|
Your green curbside bin will be collected weekly at 7 am along with your garbage and recycling. You do not need to wait for your bin to be full to have it collected. You can line your kitchen collector with a compostable bag, paper bag, newspaper, or have no liner at all. When you fill the bin, you can empty the contents of the kitchen collector, including your bag or liner, into your curbside bin. |
Backyard Composting |

If you are interested in backyard composting the County of Peterborough sells a variety of composters at the County Public Works Office (310 Armour Road, Peterborough). You are also able to participate in the Garbage to Garden, an at home composter installation program (summer months only).
