With sunny and mild weather in the forecast for the Easter long weekend, Peterborough residents planning to spend some time cleaning up their yards can once again put leaf and yard waste out to the curb for collection.
The city’s green waste collection service began this week and will continue until late fall on your regular collection day.
Green waste must be in paper yard waste bags, bushel baskets, or a garbage bin labelled with the city’s yellow “Green Waste” label. Plastic bags will not be accepted.
Each container must weigh less than 22 kilograms (50 pounds). Brush can be tied in bundles weighing not more than 22 kilograms (50 pounds), with a length of up to one metre (three feet) and a diameter of up to 30.5 centimetres (12 inches). There are no limits on the quantity of green waste you can put out for collection.
Green waste should be put out after 6 p.m. the night before or no later than 7 a.m. the morning of your regular waste collection.
Note that green waste collection on Friday, April 7th (Good Friday) will move to Monday, April 10th (Easter Monday), along with garbage and recycling collection.
