Rhyno   10 #2 Posted June 21, 2018 It would be best to double bag something like a cat. Especially if we are moving to monthly collections.  Then it wont get out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
SheffDon   10 #3 Posted June 21, 2018 Has the cat been let out of the bag? Are monthly collections being considered?  https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/sheffield-council-deny-monthly-black-bin-collection-claims-1-9214877  I think they are looking at black bins every 2 weeks, blue bins will become paper and card, which will be once a month and an introduction of a brown bin to replace the blue boxes, which will be for glass, tins and plastics - which will be every month.

max   13 #5 Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) The headline in The Star says it all: "Sheffield Council deny monthly black bin collection claims"  So that answers the question posed in the OP.  From the FB page which started this hare running:  "The post re monthly-only black bin collections has been deleted because according to a Council Officer , it is inaccurate. Yesterday, a different Council Officer informed over the phone that black bin collection was being considered for monthly collection . This is apparently not the case. The other Officer today emailed that there is categorically no such plan to do that. So no need to panic!"

BigAl1 Â Â 143 #6 Posted June 21, 2018 For what ever reason they failed to empty my blue bin today which was left in the same place as always thought for a minute they were also moving the blue bins to monthly but it turns out that all the other bins in the street had been emptied so perhaps the problem was that it was not full Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

northernboy   13 #9 Posted June 21, 2018 Post #3 is correct. They are reducing the frequency of collection of recyclables. My blue bin is currently full after 2 weeks, so more will end up going to landfill/incineration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
