Garden waste (green bin) collections will resume from Monday 2nd August after being temporarily suspended for two weeks.
Veolia and Sheffield City Council are pleased to announce an end to the temporary suspension of garden waste collections for Sheffield residents. The service was suspended for two weeks due to the impact of COVID-19 on staffing levels but will resume from Monday 2nd August.
Staffing levels will remain under constant review with a small number of Veolia’s staff still isolating in line with government guidance. Customers will be informed if there is any further change to their collections.
Customers can check their collection day by visiting: www.sheffield.gov.uk/waste
Customers of the service are advised to put their green bins out by 7am on their usual collection day.
Veolia Sheffield General Manager, Steve Newman said:
“We’re pleased to welcome our colleagues back to work and resume services as usual. Thank you to customers of this service for their understanding and patience, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused during the suspension of garden waste collections.
“We must always prioritise the safety of our colleagues and the community, and in some circumstances, this can mean a temporary stop in collections.”
In compliance with the service's terms and conditions, customers will receive an additional collection added on at the end of the service to account for the temporary suspension.
All other waste and recycling services remain fully operational. For up-to-date information and service alerts about your recycling and waste collections, you can visit https://wasteservices.sheffield.gov.uk/ or follow @Recycle4Shef on Twitter.
