Bin Collections

We provide households in Sheffield with blue bins in which to store their paper & card for recycling and with black bins for their general waste.  The majority of homes in the City will have a 140 litre blue bin for the paper & card recycling and a 240 litre black bin for other wastes.

 

The system of collection in Sheffield is kerbside.  As such you may place your bin(s) at the kerbside after 6pm on the day before the scheduled collection and remove the bin by no later than 9am on the day after the scheduled collection has occurred.

 

We will provide help (Assisted Collections) for households that are unable to take their bin to the kerbside because of disability or ill health.

 

We may issue Section 46 notices under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 directing householders on how to manage their bins, including removing them from the footpath after emptying.  Fixed Penalty notices may be used to ensure these standards are met.
