What we do with the rest of our rubbish
Even though Peterborough is aiming to achieve a recycling rate of over 65%, there are some materials that will be leftover. This ‘residual’ waste has historically been dumped in landfill sites. European legislation, combined with the fact that landfill sites are fast filling up, means that this is no longer a viable disposal option. As a responsible local authority, Peterborough City Council has been investigating other ways to cope with our residual waste in future.
