Sheffield - Collections Service and District Energy Alerts

Delays to waste and recycling collections next week

Planned strike action on Monday 29 July until Friday 2 August will cause delays to waste and recycling collections.

Changes to green bin collections

• There will be no garden waste collections for two weeks, from 29 July to 11 August
• This is to prioritise the collection of all other waste and recycling bins
• To compensate as per our terms and conditions, we will add an extra garden waste bin collection at the end of the service in November, ensuring you do not miss out on the scheduled number of collections.

Changes to black, blue and brown bin collections

• Please leave your bins out by 7am on your normal collection day and keep them out until they are emptied.

• Our crews will collect them as soon as possible. They are working hard, including over the weekend to minimise delays.

• Black bin collections are the priority and should encounter minimal delays.

• However, there are likely to be delays in recycling (blue and brown bin) collections.

• Our crews will be working extended hours, including weekends, to catch up as quickly as possible.

If your bin is not collected on the scheduled day, please be patient. Our crews will reach you as soon as they can. There is no need to contact us, as we are aware of the situation.

All Sheffield Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) are open as normal. Find more information about HWRCs.
