Sheffield - Collections Service and District Energy Alerts

Latest strike update

Waste and recycling services in Sheffield are facing some disruption due to strike action. We are working hard to minimise any disruption to services.
We’re sorry and share your frustration that the industrial action by Unite the Union due to a dispute with the GMB over membership and recognition is continuing.

Garden waste collection service
As we work towards restoring our full service, we are introducing a four-weekly garden waste collection service, with collections taking place over weekends.
We will be in touch with every subscriber directly to let them know their collection dates.
Please put your bin out by 7am on your collection day and leave it out until it is emptied.
We understand that you may have concerns about missed collections during this period. We want to assure you that we are actively working on a plan to compensate for any missed collections. We will be in touch by the end of November with detailed information on how we intend to address this. We appreciate your patience as we work to understand the full impact of the disruption.

Waste and Recycling Bin Collections
There may be  delays to your waste and recycling collections.
Please put your bin out by 7am on your scheduled collection day and leave it out until it has been emptied. Our crews will get to you as soon as they can. Crews are working additional hours.
Recycling bring sites remain closed during strike action.
All recycling bring sites are temporarily closed during strike action. This is to prioritise all waste and recycling collections. Waste and recycling must not be left at any of these sites. Recycling and waste can be taken to one of the five Household Waste Recycling Centres throughout the city which remain open as usual. Find more information about HWRCs.
