Sheffield City Council and Veolia will begin replacing 140l blue bins with larger 240l bins across the city between July and December 2026. The new blue bin will be the same size as your brown bin and make it easier to recycle paper and card.
Residents should continue to put the current blue bin out on their usual collection day before 7am. Extra paper and card can be placed next to the blue bin – just make sure it is bundled together, tied with string, and is no larger than your bin.
Additional recycling bins will also be provided at flats, where the current bins are filled prior to collection day.
