The Fengate Household Recycling Centre in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, will switch to its summer operating hours starting from 1 April 2026. This seasonal adjustment provides residents with two additional hours to drop off waste daily during the spring and summer months.
The facility will close at 6pm instead of 4pm throughout the summer season. These extended hours will remain in place until 30 September 2026, when the site returns to its winter closing time of 4pm. The site continues to open at 8am every day.
Peterborough City Council requires all visitors to the site to have a free vehicle e-permit. This mandatory system, which applies to all Peterborough residents using the facility in a motor vehicle, has been in effect since 24 February 2025.
These seasonal changes are a standard part of the facility’s annual operations to manage waste disposal needs during periods of increased daylight.
