Waste and Recycling in Cambridgeshire

We aim to maximise waste reduction, reuse and recycling by:

  • Providing facilities such as recycling centres for household waste.
  • Raising awareness of waste and recycling through the Recycling Buses, which provide a range of waste education programmes and activities for schools and community groups in Cambridgeshire.
  • Working as part of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Waste Partnership to run events throughout the year promoting waste reduction, reuse and recycling.

Please note:
Your local District or City Council is responsible for kerbside collection of household waste and recycling. This also includes pre-arranged bulky household waste collections. For more details please refer to the links on the right hand side of this page for your District or City Council website.
