recycling collection


Recommended Posts

Recycling collection. I've seen more types of recycling left out for collection in Rotherham than Sheffield and I'm wondering why a bigger council and city of Sheffield isn't on the same level. Specifically I'm referring to plastic boxes of empty tins and glass which Rotherham council collects from homes, while Sheffield council thought they took a big step with just bluebins for paper(rotherham already collected paper). I'm going to email Sheffield council now to catch up with a smaller council as Sheffield has more homes producing empty tins and glass so to not collect it is a tremendous waste.

You can certainly try but don't hold your breath for a response. My girlfriend has written to the council on numerous occasions regarding their p***-poor recycling policy and has never yet received a reply about it.

 

FWIW, I totally agree with you - it seems like it is just a token gesture from SCC that they collect paper. when I lived in Southampton a few years ago, the recyclying wheelie bins were for paper, plastic, metal and glass - all in the same bin.

 

Personally I am lucky enough to have a recycling centre within walking distance of my house, but there are plenty of people in Sheffield who don't, and being forced to drive to a recycling centre kind of negates the whole point of 'saving the environmet' in my opinion.
