Sheffield City Council and Veolia are advising residents that bin collection days will change for some households over the festive period.
Only residents whose bin collection day is a Monday or Tuesday will be affected, with no collections taking place on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Crews will be working over the weekend before Christmas and New Year’s to ensure all residents receive a collection over the festive period.
Monday Collections:
Residents whose normal collection day is Monday 25 December, will now have a collection on Saturday 23 December
Residents whose normal collection day is Monday 1 January, will now have a collection on Saturday 30 December.
Tuesday Collections:
Residents whose normal collection day is Tuesday 26 December, will now have a collection on Sunday 24 December.
Residents experiencing these changes will find a bin tag detailing the altered collection dates attached to their bins over the coming days.
All other recycling and waste collections will take place as normal. Residents can check their collection dates at www.sheffield.gov.uk/waste. All bins must be placed out by 7am on collection day with the lid closed.
Extra Recycling and Waste:
Between 27 December and 23 January, residents can place extra recycling and waste next to their bins.
Extra tins, cans and plastic bottles tied in a carrier bag can be placed next to your brown bin. Glass bottles or jars must be placed inside brown bins, otherwise the extra recycling will not be collected.
Up to two bags of extra general waste, tied and placed neatly next to the black bin will also be collected.
Small bundles of additional paper and cardboard can be placed next to the blue bin for collection all year round - it just needs to be neatly bundled and no larger than the bin.
Extra paper, card, glass, cans and plastics can be taken to local bring sites across the city and any additional recycling and waste can be taken to one of the five Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC).
HWRCs will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, and will close at 3pm on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
