Black
wheeled bins are provided to households* in Sheffield
for the disposal of domestic waste. This is a guide
to how this service works and what you can and can't
put in your bin.
| • |
Wheeled bins must be placed at the kerbside
by 7am on the morning of collection (unless
you have an assisted collection**). If your
bin is not at the kerbside when the refuse collection
vehicle arrives your bin cannot be emptied. |
| • |
After the bin has been emptied the householder
is responsible for returning the bin to their
own property as soon as possible, no later than 9am on the day after collection. |
Your black wheeled bin is for
general household waste. Please do not
put any of the following items in your black bin.
| • |
garden waste |
| • |
bricks |
| • |
soil |
| • |
tiles |
| • |
rubble |
| • |
hot ashes |
Telephone 0114 273 4567 or,
contact
us via email, to find out about
alternative disposal methods for these items.
What we expect from you...
| • |
Please do not use the bin for fires. The plastic
will melt and the bin will be damaged |
| • |
If bins are damaged through misuse the householder
may be charged for a replacement bin |
| • |
Householders are responsible for the security
of their wheeled bin |
| • |
If the bin is too heavy it may not be emptied.
The householder will then be contacted and asked
to lighten the content of the bin. Read
our tips on reducing your waste and recycling |
| • |
The bin is large enough for the needs of most
households. If you have a problem relating to
the size of your bin, contact us and we will
be happy to discuss your individual needs |
| • |
The wheeled bin is the property of Veolia
Environmental Services and must not be removed
or vandalised. However, householders can number
their wheeled bin if they so wish. If you move
house the wheeled bin must remain with the property.
If you find your black bin is too big, please
contact us on 0114 273 4567 or via email to request a smaller bin |
* If you live in a flat/apartment
your waste collection arrangements may be different
- contact your landlord for more information
**In special circumstances, when there are no able
bodied people in your household, an assisted collection
can be made. If you are eligible for an assisted
collection, refuse collectors will wheel your bin
out for collection and return it after it has been
emptied. This arrangement can be discussed by calling
the helpline number on 0114 273 4567.
