Extra waste bins for recyclables for Sheffield households

Up to 7,500 households in Sheffield are being given an extra waste bin - the Blue Box - into which they can put paper, glass, cans, plastics and batteries for recycling. The Blue Boxes will be collected weekly and loaded separately onto a specially designed collection lorry.

The Blue Box collections are part of Recycling City, a project initiated by Friends of the Earth, with the aim of developing model recycling facilities in four cities. The project operates as a partnership between industry, government and the voluntary sector, with sponsorship provided by British Telecom and funding for a full evaluation to assess the practical and economic viability of the new recycling operations in Sheffield.
