The weather was fine and kind for yesterday’s Crosspool Forum Community Christmas tree recycling event outside Direct Travel.
The Forum Volunteer Marshalls efficiently helped ensure that everything ran smoothly and thanked everyone for their cooperation with the request to wear a Face Covering, observe Social Distancing, waiting patiently in the one-way queue to Drop off a Christmas Tree and for not hanging around or gathering Socially. Everyone’s support and willingness to help everybody keep safe during the tree recycling was really appreciated.
Every recycled Christmas tree helped protect the environment, providing chippings to be used locally as Mulch in the flower beds and woodland areas of Lydgate green.
The Crosspool Forum was extremely grateful for everyone’s understanding of the strict safety guidelines which had been taken to keep safe our Community Volunteers and attendees during these unprecedented times and everyone for getting rid of their Christmas tree in the most environmentally-friendly way.
Having now been officially advised that trips for waste management and Community work/volunteering are permitted during the current lock down, in the interest of protecting the environment, the Crosspool Forum has taken the decision to go ahead with the Christmas Tree Recycling this Sunday, 10th January 2021 –(10am to 11.30am).
To ensure that everything runs smoothly and STRICT SAFETY GUIDELINES are observed, the following steps will be taken to help keep everyone safe during the tree recycling.
Everyone will be required to:-
Thank you for your interest in protecting the environment by recycling your Christmas tree and for your understanding that these steps have had to be taken to help keep our Volunteers and attendees safe during these unprecedented times.

Green Bin – final collection in the Crosspool area – Tuesday 1st December.
To ensure your green bin is emptied prior to next years’ service, please put your Green Bin out by 7am this Tuesday.
Garden Waste (green bin) Service Suspended
Due to the impact of the Coronavirus on staffing levels, all green bin (garden waste) collections have been suspended until further notice.
Residents are advised to keep their green bin on their property (not on the pavement) and where possible, store their garden waste at home until collections restart.
Once the full impact of the Coronavirus on the green bin service is known, customers will be informed of arrangements to rectify any collections missed.
Black bin and recycling collections are operating as normal.
HWRC Opening Times
Opening hours of Sheffield’s five “Household Waste Recycling Centres,” will continue to be, 9am to 5pm, 7 days a week.
In order to ensure the safety of staff and the public during the COVID-19 Pandemic, social distancing measures continue to be in place, limiting the number of vehicles allowed on site at any one time. The demand for the sites combined with the vehicle limits has resulted in significant queues. By continuing to remain open 7 days a week, allows more people to visit and should reduce queuing times.
