Below is a summary of our most popular commercial waste collection services in Peterborough.
General business waste Peterborough
Businesses across Peterborough generate large volumes of general waste through daily operations. This includes food-contaminated packaging, used paper towels, broken items, and non-recyclable plastics. As this waste cannot be recycled, it requires regular removal to keep premises clean and compliant. General business waste is managed through scheduled commercial collection services.
Commercial dry mixed recycling Peterborough
Peterborough’s small business community produces a diverse range of commercial recyclable materials, including paper, cardboard, metal, plastics, and other mixed recyclables. Efficient commercial dry mixed recycling services offer a convenient and cost-effective way to manage these materials while supporting Peterborough’s wider recycling efforts and contributing to a more circular approach to waste handling.
Commercial glass recycling Peterborough
Peterborough is home to Press Glass Ltd, a notable and well-established glass recycling facility located at Venture Park. Businesses in the area, such as The Bull Hotel, generate large volumes of glass waste from wine and beer bottles, spirits containers, and food preparation jars. These businesses use commercial glass recycling facilities like Press Glass Ltd to process their glass waste into high-quality new products.
Commercial food waste Peterborough
Peterborough’s restaurants, like the Wildwood Restaurant, produce a lot of food waste. This waste, consisting of vegetable peels, dairy products, meat scraps, and uneaten food, is managed by local commercial food waste collection providers like Material Change, which operates an anaerobic digestion facility at Decoy Farm in Peterborough. This facility processes food waste into biogas and fertiliser.
Commercial cardboard recycling Peterborough
Like the Queensgate Shopping Centre, Peterborough’s retail sector generates significant volumes of cardboard waste from packaging and deliveries. This waste, consisting of cardboard boxes, packaging materials, and shipping containers, accumulates rapidly due to the high turnover of goods in the bustling retail environment and is managed using commercial cardboard recycling collection services.

Businesses in Peterborough with customer or staff washrooms must arrange sanitary waste collection to meet legal obligations. This includes the safe disposal of items such as sanitary pads, nappies, and incontinence products. Regular collections are essential in maintaining hygiene standards and avoiding unpleasant odours.
