Bins in Sheffield
Sheffield City Council collects:
- Black bin
- Blue bin
- Brown bin
From the collections we've found for homes in Sheffield. Your street may have a different mix of bins.
Many councils charge for garden waste collections, so they only show for homes that have signed up. Check Sheffield City Council's website to find out about garden waste.
What you can recycle at home
Under the government's Simpler Recycling rules, councils in England collect these from homes:
- Paper and card: newspapers, magazines, envelopes and cardboard boxes
- Plastic: bottles, pots, tubs and trays
- Metal: drinks cans, food tins, clean foil and empty aerosols
- Glass: bottles and jars
- Cartons: food and drinks cartons, like juice and soup cartons
- Food waste: all food, cooked or raw, including peelings, bones, tea bags and coffee grounds, collected every week
Plastic bags and wrapping will be added by 31 March 2027. Some councils are still bringing in some of these collections.
Which bin each one goes in depends on your council. Check Sheffield City Council's website, or use the Recycle Now Recycling Locator.
