Has anyone else noticed how unreliable the blue bin collection is becoming?

In the last three collections they have only turned up on the day they said once. On one occasion they arrived a day late and now they haven’t arrived at all.

How much of my council tax should I with hold for this shoddy service

[NPressureCS]

Sorry cant agree with you there. They always turn up for all three bins when stated on the council website.

You should call them on 273 4567 (option 1) to get them to collect after missing you.

If you fail to be satisfied, email a complaint to sheffieldenquiries@veolia.co.uk
and make sure you also send copies to one of your local Councillors and john.mothersole@sheffield.gov.uk

Mine has always been emptied on the day it's meant to be.

[Hook]

We've never had any problems either..

[Ivor&Mel]

Never had any problems all the years I was in Crookes; nor any since I moved to the new house 2 months ago.

It's been totally unreliable here and I think you'll find there was at least one other thread about precisely this topic. I get the feeling that it's a lip service service only.

[RichJay]

I've never had a problem.

[Longcol]

No problems here either.

[Lisa*Marie*]

No problems so far here , hope i aint just put a curse on my blue bin collection !!!

Not in the bottom 10 according to this;

And I can just imagine the outcry from half the forum if they had to do any more sorting of the rubbish than they have to do already.

I have to disagree. If it means not having to trail to glass banks.

Mine was emptied this morning with no problems.

[silverlady]

someone pinched my blue bin a nice clean one with my house number on a left me a real scabby one! must have took em ages to clean that house number off as i,ve checked up and down the road, best thing is when you ring the council they say if someone nicks ya bin its normally to commit a burgary!! nice
but mine does get emptyied knew i,d make it to the point eventully!!

[Moosey]

The bin service is absolutely rubbish in my experience.

Unreliable, unpleasant, and their complaints service is just as pointless.

I wish I were one of the lucky people who get good service.

[kags]

Ours was a day late time before last otherwise a good service.

My bin wasn't emptied this week.

And my sticker which shows me the collection dates was ripped off the bin.

I don't know if that was kids or if it means my blue bin isn't going to be collected anymore.

But if it is going to be collected I don't know the dates now.
