Students living in Sheffield can use our student sack collection service to get rid of any waste that won’t fit inside their bins at the end of the academic year. We will collect up to 2 bin bags per student. Please make sure that:
- you provide your own bin bags
- the bags are no larger than 50 liters and tied at the top
- you don't put waste out for collection that is not in one of your two sacks, this will be classed as fly tipping and you may be fined
If you live in this area you can put your sacks out for collection on any week day on the pavement at the end of term.
What you should do with any other waste
If you have additional waste or large items that will not fit inside your black bin, you can arrange a bulky waste collection. You have to pay to use this service and you may want to discuss splitting the cost with your housemates.
You could also dontate items to local charity shops and donation schemes, but please check before leaving items.
You should plan for how you will dispose of your waste before leaving your house or flat - the waste you produce is your responsibility.
