Blue bin delivery delay (28th Sept-2nd Oct)

Due to an unexpected manufacturing issue with a third-party partner, larger blue bins that were scheduled for delivery during the weeks of 28th September to the 9th October have been delayed. 

Residents who were expecting a blue bin delivery and did not receive one between these dates will now have a later delivery date. We apologise for the delay and any inconvenience this may cause.

We will now be delivering larger blue bins between 23rd November and 4th December. 

Until then, we ask residents to please return their current, small blue bin to their properties, and continue using it as normal to recycle paper and card until this date.

In order for us to deliver a new bin, residents will need to put their existing blue bin out for collection on their normal collection day. The week before, we will place a tag on your black bin to remind you to put your blue bin out the following week.  

Our crews will empty and swap the existing blue bin for a larger blue bin.

For more information about the rollout and to find out when your new, larger blue bin will be delivered visit: www.sheffield.veolia.co.uk/simpler-recycling-and-blue-bin-rollout-faqs

A bigger blue bin announced for all Sheffield residents

Sheffield City Council and Veolia will begin replacing 140l blue bins with larger 240l bins across the city between July and December 2026.  The new blue bin will be the same size as your brown bin and make it easier to recycle paper and card.  

Residents should continue to put the current blue bin out on their usual collection day before 7am.  Extra paper and card can be placed next to the blue bin – just make sure it is bundled together, tied with string, and is no larger than your bin.


Additional recycling bins will also be provided at flats, where the current bins are filled prior to collection day.
