Disposing of household waste yourself
You can help to prevent fly-tipping by disposing of your waste responsibly and legally. This includes items such as:
- fridges and freezers
- all kinds of electrical equipment, eg TVs and old computers
- clothing
- mattresses
- chairs
- garden waste
- carpets
Where to dispose of your waste
You should use your household bin collection service or take your waste to one of the five dedicated, free household waste recycling sites in Sheffield:
- Beighton Road, Woodhouse, Sheffield, S13 7PS
- Blackstock Road, Gleadless, Sheffield, S14 1FY
- Greaves Lane, High Green, Sheffield, S35 4GR
- Longley Avenue West, Shirecliffe, Sheffield, S5 8WA
- Manchester Road, Deepcar, S36 2UU
You can find out more about the sites and their opening times on the Veolia website.
Smaller recycling sites at supermarkets are not for the disposal of general household waste, they are for recycling purposes only. You may be issued with a penalty notice if you leave waste or recycling material on the floor, at the side of or on top of the containers as this is considered to be fly-tipping.
