With regards to the black waste bins, please note the following:
Peterborough City Council policy on black bin is;
Aragon who is employed by Peterborough City Council will only collect waste that is contained within the wheeled bins. Side waste will not be collected, and it will be the responsibility of the householder who has produced the side waste to remove it and dispose of it by either taking it to the Householders’ Recycling Centre at Fengate or by including it in the wheeled bin for the next scheduled collection.
If any bags left next to the bin will be considered to be fly-tipped waste and the owner of the waste may be subject to a fine or prosecution if the waste is not removed and disposed of in the correct manner.
Only in exceptional circumstances Aragon will collect side waste/s, this would be following a period of inclement weather when it has not been possible to carry out scheduled collections or over the Christmas bank holiday period.
With regards to the green recycling bins, please note the following:
Peterborough City Council policy on green bin is;
Aragon will not collect recyclables that are placed in black bin bags or in bags where collection crews cannot easily see the contents. We do not place a limit on the amount of recycling that we will collect, as long it is clear that it is recycling when presented (i.e., not placed in a black sack).
For a comprehensive list of materials, residents can check the Councils website. If incorrect materials are present in the recycling containers, we reserve the right not to collect them and request that the non-acceptable items are removed. We will then empty the containers on the next scheduled collection day.
This information will be logged by our waste collection team, using our in-cab monitoring system, and a leaflet or sticker will be used to inform the resident.
