New green waste collection system announced for Sheffield
A new collection system for green waste has been announced by the council and Veolia.
The city-wide scheme includes Crosspool and will see the introduction of reusable green sacks instead of green plastic bags.
Households can expect delivery of the reusable green sacks and a collection calendar in February and March next year. The collections will run every four weeks.
The new system means that residents will no longer need to collect sacks from distribution outlets or contact Veolia to arrange collection.

Photos from Crosspool Farmer’s Market
Below are some photos from Crosspool Farmer’s Market on Sunday 4 July 2010. The market took place on Selbourne Road and was part of this year’s festival celebrations.
There were stalls selling food, drinks, plants and crafts as well as dancing from local school children.
The market was in aid of Cairn Home, which also opened up its garden and served cream teas.
Crosspool Open Gardens raises over £3,000 for charity
Twelve charities are to share the £3,300 raised from this year’s Crosspool Open Gardens on Saturday 3 July.
The annual event, which is co-ordinated by members of Stephen Hill Methodist Church, ran this year as part of the Crosspool Festival programme.
There were 15 gardens around the neighbourhood to explore, including allotments off Back Lane, two adjoining houses on Cairns Road and the Den Bank Close garden featuring a model railway.
One Manchester Road garden also accommodated an art sale, plus a book signing by local historian and author Judith Hanson. Plentiful supplies of tea and cake were also available at most of the gardens.
Open Gardens started as a fundraising event for the church’s development appeal but has now been extended to support charities nominated by the owner of each of the showcased gardens.
