Welcome to the County of Peterborough
Recycling

The County of Peterborough is very proud of our comprehensive recycling program. In addition to our specialty programs we offer weekly collection of blue box materials and a weekly collection of cardboard.

Curbside Recycling Collection

Benefits of the New 2 Stream System include allowing drivers to collect the County's recycling more efficiently, reducing our environmental footprint by doing more with less. Weekly cardboard pickup means residents will require less space that was once alloted to store one month's supply of cardboard.

Residents in the following townships have a recycling collection service. Our collection program has been adapted for residents living on private roads and for residents living on public roads.

Townships with recycling collection:

  • Asphodel-Norwood
  • Cavan-Monaghan
  • Douro-Dummer
  • North Kawartha
  • Otonabee-South Monaghan
  • Smith-Ennismore-Lakefield
  • Havelock Ward of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen

Depot Recycling
A recycling depot is located at every Transfer Station and Landfill Site in the County of Peterborough.  Please click here for our Depot Recycling information sheet.  Having depots ensures that residents living in Townships that do not have curbside recycling collection still have a convenient location to take their recycling.
