MysticPam   10 #61 Posted January 8, 2010 It was the turn for our blue bin to be emptied today so with tongue in cheek and crossed fingers we put it out last night and I was awoken at about 7.30 by the sound of the bin lorry outside our house doing the job well. Good on them. We also had our black bin emptied on Monday the due day , we are on the arbourthorne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
barmyowls   11 #62 Posted January 9, 2010 We are in S6, bin was due to be emptied today but they haven't been, even though other vehicles are up and down our street without too many problems. I suppose it'll now be another week without being emptied. But as it's almost 2 weeks since it was last emptied, does that mean they will also take bags placed at the side of the bin when they eventually do come??? Does anyone know?  see post 46  I was told they would also take bags as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
LibertyBell   10 #63 Posted January 9, 2010 Uh oh. No black or blue bin collection for us in Walkley Bank this week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Flying Duck   10 #64 Posted January 9, 2010 They're out today trying to do the black bins that they missed yesterday, and the blue bins they missed this week.  http://www.veoliaenvironmentalservices.co.uk/sheffield/pages/media_news.asp?newsId=209 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
bluecanary   13 #65 Posted January 11, 2010 According to the Sheffield Council and Veolia websites, blue bins that were not collected last week will now not be emptied until February: http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/environment/waste/bincollections/bins-snow.  Well fantastic. Our blue bin was full a fortnight ago and we have since had to make 2 trips to recycle our own cardboard. Putting it in our normal bin isn't an option as that hasn't been emptied for a fortnight either and we are already accumulated a pile of additional bin bags on the pavement outside. If the council are keen to encourage people to recycle they have a very strange way of going about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
iansheff   83 #66 Posted January 11, 2010 Well after reading that I am afraid it will go in the normal bin as the bue bin is full. I take all my plastics and cans for recycling, I have 6 or 7 bags full of cans and plastics waiting to go for recycling, I am not messing with paper as well.

Maddy   15 #71 Posted January 11, 2010 Not been emptied since before Christmas in S4 despite saying they were coming, despite seeing the bin men go past the end of the road twice. The road is passable - it is also increasingly covered in rubbish as cats, foxes and no doubt rats rip the bags open. Great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Powerage   10 #72 Posted January 11, 2010 Not been emptied since before Christmas in S4 despite saying they were coming, despite seeing the bin men go past the end of the road twice. The road is passable - it is also increasingly covered in rubbish as cats, foxes and no doubt rats rip the bags open. Great  Same for us in S5 not had our bins emptied since 28th Dec road is now strewn with black bin bags which are slowly being ripped open by numerous animals. I have resorted to storing mine under the kitchen table to save them being ripped open outside. Good job its cold so rubbish not to smelly yet!!  No blue bin emptied either since begining of Dec so thats overflowing too getting really pee'd off with it all now.
