Service Disruption 24 April

We are sorry that collection services for residents have again been disrupted by action taken by Unite the Union today. We would like to thank the Police for their assistance and to reassure you that Veolia's staff are working hard to catch up on collections. 

If your bin isn't emptied today, please leave it on the kerbside and it will be emptied as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

Recycling Bring Sites Currently Closed

All recycling bring sites across the city are temporarily closed because of the ongoing strike action to prioritise the black, brown and blue bin collections services. Waste and recycling must not be left at any of these sites. Alternatively, excess recycling and waste can be taken to one of the five Household Waste Recycling Centres throughout the city which remain open as usual: www.sheffield.veolia.co.uk/HWRC.

We are frustrated by the continued industrial action by Unite the Union due to a dispute with the GMB over membership and recognition. Our dedicated teams have kept services running with minimal disruption and we will continue to work hard to maintain collections.

We have repeatedly asked that both Unions urgently engage with the Trade Union Congress to resolve this matter swiftly.

We are developing plans to reopen the bring sites at the earliest opportunity and will provide further updates here and on our X (formerly Twitter) @Recycle4Shef.
