CHARITY DONATIONS WITH THE BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION

CHARITY DONATIONS WITH THE BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION

If you have any good quality clothes, books, CDs, DVDs or small electrical items that you no longer require, you can donate them to the British Heart Foundation using either offi cial bags or any sturdy plastic bags.

You can collect these bags from your students’ union, SHU Accomodation Services or UOS propertywithUS. Then take the bags to one of the many designated BHF collection points shown on the map overleaf.

Each summer, thousands of Sheffi eld students move out of their accommodation at the same time. In the rush to move out, tonnes of waste are left on Sheffi eld’s streets each year - most of which are items that could be reused or food that could be donated.This summer, the “Bring it, Don’t Bin It” programme has set up lots of initiatives to help you donate, recycle, and dispose of your unwanted items in a helpful and responsible way. From free shops to food drives, recycling tips to red sacks - this leafl et has everything you need to know about getting rid of your waste when you move out! Check out our website to see how you can get involved in volunteering for BIDBI this year.

RECYCLING

RED SACKSRed sacks are waste sacks given just to students, and are a LAST RESORT for extra waste that can’t be reused or recycled and won’t fi t in your black bin. All this waste goes straight for incineration at Sheffi eld’s Energy Recovery Facility, so only use these where ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!

You can get 2 red sacks per person if you live in private rented accommodation.

Collect your red sacks, along with your British Heart Foundation sacks, from:

• Your students’ union

• Your university’s accommodation service (SHU Accomodation Services or UOS propertywithUS)

• A range of helpful letting agents (ask yours if they’re helping!)

If your house appears on one of the roads highlighted on the map overleaf, place your fi lled red sacks out for collection between the 22nd of June and the 3rd of July. Red sacks need to be carefully fi lled and placed for collection on the kerbside between these dates and we will remove them within 48 hours. If you live in an area not marked on the map, please place your red sacks out for collection next to your black bin on its scheduled collection day between these dates.

TOP TIPS FOR BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOUR (AND AVOIDING A FINE!)

If you don’t use the collection services correctly you can be fi ned by the Council or charged by your landlord. More importantly, you’ll be making a mess of the streets that students and many other people call home.

• Check your collection days and plan ahead.

• Put bins, boxes or red sacks out on the street after 6pm on the day before your collection. Take them in by 9am the day after collection.

• If you’re leaving before collection day, ask your neighbour to help take your bin out and put it back in.

• Other than the black bins, blue bins and blue boxes only red sacks will be collected. Don’t leave any other rubbish on the street.

• Don’t overfi ll bins or red bags and close them securely.
