Don't Put Your Blue Boxes Curbside Until Collection Day Or They Might Blow Away

Strong and gusty winds are forecasted to continue throughout the week. The City of Peteborough has issued a release asking residents to please hold onto your blue boxes until the morning of their collection, 7 a.m. set-out time—rather than setting them out the night before. This will help to reduce recyclables and blue boxes being blown around the streets.

Also, residents are encouraged to write their address on their blue boxes, so they can be identified and returned if they should blow away. There is a $5 fee to replace lost blue boxes, which are available at City Hall, 500 George Street North and the Material Recycling Facility, 390 Pido Road (cash only).
