Blue Bin Paper & Card Recycling Service: Every household is about to be issued with a blue bin (6 June 2003 for Nether Edge). This is for newspapers, magazines, card, catalogues, junk mail, envelopes and white and coloured paper. It will be emptied kerbside once a month. There is a Blue Bin helpline on 0845 355 5515.

Recycling Facilities
If you haven't (yet) got a blue bin, waste newspaper/magazines and cardboard can be added to your store of glass, plastics and aluminium, all of which can be recycled at Tesco's, Abbeydale Road, and Sainsbury's, Archer Road; also at Somerfield's, Ecclesall Road, and Safeway's, bottom Ecclesall Road. Aluminium is collected from Safeway's at 11am on Thursday mornings. The most comprehensive facilities are at the Council site at Blackstock Road, Gleadless (see map).

Bulky Rubbish
If you have a car, you can take it to any of five Recycling Centres. The nearest is Blackstock Rd, Gleadless. Sites are open every day from 8 am - 5 pm (October to March) and until 7.30 pm in the summer months. If the rubbish is too bulky (e.g. chairs, beds, fridges) or you don’t have a car, ring 273 4567 and the Council will collect and dispose of it free of charge.

Non-Domestic Rubbish such as building rubble, fixtures & fittings, can also be collected but the Council makes a charge.

Old Cars
If you have a car you no longer want, telephone Direct Services and they will send you a form to complete. When it is returned, they make arrangements to collect the vehicle. Also, please ring 273 4567 if you see a dumped car ...
