Garden waste collections set to spring back into action

Sheffield’s garden waste collection service for 2022 will begin again in March. In partnership with Sheffield City Council, Veolia provides this convenient kerbside recycling subscription service.

 

To take advantage of all 19 fortnightly green bin collections between March and November, residents must have signed up and paid before 21st February. Residents can sign up online at wasteservices.sheffield.gov.uk/

 

Steve Newman, General Manager, Veolia Sheffield said: 

 

“We understand Sheffield residents want to recycle as much as possible and we want to make it as easy as possible by offering a convenient garden waste service to Sheffield. Customers will receive a fortnightly collection direct from their home which ensures their garden waste is composted at a local, licensed facility.” 

 

If you’ve not signed up to the garden waste service before then there’s no better time to start. If you sign up before 21st February you will be eligible for all 19 collections when they commence in March for a cost of £57.65, that's just £1.52 per week.

 

Councillor Paul Wood, Executive Member for Housing , Roads and Waste Management said: “We know that the disposal of garden waste is important to many residents in the city and I recommend that people sign up as soon as possible so they can get the maximum benefit from this convenient, fortnightly, green bin collection service.“

 

Unwanted garden waste can also be recycled for free at any of the city’s five Household Waste Recycling Centers or at home by composting. Residents can buy a home compost bin by visiting:
