         Garden Waste (green bin) Service


Due to the impact of the Coronavirus on staffing levels, all green bin (garden waste) collections are suspended until further notice.


Residents are advised to keep their green bin on their property (not on the pavement) and where possible, store their garden waste at home until collections restart.
 

Once the full impact of the Coronavirus on the green bin service is known, customers will be informed of arrangements to rectify any collections missed.


Black bin and recycling collections


All black and recycling collections are operating as normal today.

HWRC Opening Times

From Thursday 1st October 2020, the opening hours of Sheffield’s five Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) will continue to be extended to 7 days a week, however please note the new operational hours of 9am to 5pm. 

In order to ensure the safety of staff and the public during the COVID-19 Pandemic, social distancing measures continue to be in place, limiting the number of vehicles allowed on site at any one time.  The demand for the sites combined with the vehicle limits has resulted in significant queues. By continuing to remain open 7 days a week,  allows more people to visit and should reduce queuing times.

27th May 2020 City Wide

 

Sheffield City Council advise us that from Thursday 28 May 2020, drivers queuing on roads to access Household Waste Recycling Centres will face fines of up to £70 to protect all road users from the dangers associated with unsafe queuing traffic.

 

Traffic Regulation Orders have initially been introduced to the three sites most  affected by unsafe queuing: Beighton Road, Blackstock Road and Longley Avenue West. Vehicles will initially be asked to move on by site staff, and only those drivers who fail to adhere to the instructions given will be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice. The Penalty Charge Notice requires payment of £70, reduced to £35 if paid within 14 days.

 

Whilst we understand this may cause some frustration, by putting these measures in place ensures the safety of the public and our workforce.

 

                                            14th May 2020 City Wide

 

HWRCs can only stay open with your co-operation if you use the sites safely and responsibly.

 

Sheffield City Council and Veolia will not tolerate any physical or verbal threats to its workforce all such incidents will be reported to the Police, and the sites may be closed.

It is not acceptable for vehicles to queue outside the sites as this may cause potential danger for other road users trying to pass, and you will be asked to move on. Please listen to our staff.

 

Residents are asked to be patient if there are delays or queues caused by the restrictions. Whilst sites are currently open, the safety of the public and staff is paramount, and if large numbers of people visit the sites or fail to follow the guidelines, they will be forced to close.

 

A visit to a HWRC should only be made for essential and unavoidable waste disposal, where the waste cannot safely be stored at home for a sustained period.  This could include:

 

  • waste that is causing an accessibility, fire or safety issue
  • waste which may attract vermin

Only one person should visit the site, and you should only bring waste that you can safely carry as no assistance can be provided by site staff.

We would encourage residents with significant volumes of DIY waste and garden waste to consider contacting a registered skip hire company.

Residents can arrange for collections to take place from their home for both garden waste and bulky waste.

HWRCs Update

Household Waste Recycling Centres remain open to Sheffield residents only. However Sheffield City Council advise that the POLICE will be issuing FINES at the sites for non-essential visits and a visit must only be made if waste disposal is essential and unavoidable.

 

Residents needing to visit a Household Waste Recycling Centre for essential waste disposal are limited to one visit per day. Social distancing guidance MUST be observed whilst on site to maintain the safety of both the public and workforce.

 

Whilst sites are currently open, the safety of the public and staff is paramount, and if large numbers of people visit the sites or fail to follow the guidelines, they will be forced to close.
