If everyone used bring banks
as part of a regular routine we would be able to
recycle much more of the waste we create. Next time
you go to the supermarket take something with you
to be recycled. It will probably add 5 minutes on
to your shopping trip but, over time it will stop
tonnes of waste going to landfill****.
Bring banks can be found in supermarket car parks,
at leisure centres, in pub car parks, by the roadside
and in parks across the city. There are over 220 bring bank sites in Sheffield, to find your nearest
or most convenient site use our search facility
Veolia Environmetal Services is trying to find new
