The student move out campaign is currently ongoing and will run from 23 June to 4 July 2025.
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 and you need to provide your own bin bags (from a supermarket or hardware store)
- the bags should be 50 litres maximum of any colour and tied at the top
- if you live in this area you can put your sacks out for collection on any week day (not weekends) on the pavement at the end of term
Don't put waste out for collection that is not in one of your two sacks. Any waste you put out for collection that is not in a sack, including large items like furniture, will be classed as flytipping and you may be fined.
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.
The majority of charity shops and donation schemes are open 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 and failure to dispose of it correctly may result in it being treated as flytipping and you may be fined.
