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.
Veolia announced new green waste collection system
Crosspool householders are reminded that the final collection of plastic green waste sacks is this week (commencing 8 November 2010) in S10.
After the November collection and before the new system is introduced in 2011, the service will revert back to the previous procedure, where residents are required to to phone Veolia on 0114 2734 567 option 1 and then leave them outside property boundaries for collection on the arranged date.

Crosspool families are invited to the Out Cow Molly bonfire from 2:30pm on Saturday at Cliffe House Farm in Dungworth.
The free event includes a fire engine which will be giving rides all afternoon to raise money for the fire museum, a barbecue serving Yorkshire highland beef burgers, hot drinks, a Bradfield Brewery bar and of course a big bonfire which will be lit at 5pm.
Cliffe House Farm was originally a dairy farm dating back to 1947. With the price of milk falling, in 2007 the family decided to diversify into dairy ice cream and Our Cow Molly was born.
Our Cow Molly currently supplies its excellent range of ice cream to outlets including Bamforth’s in Crosspool, The Three Merry Lads pub in Lodge Moor and Cream coffee shop in Broomhill.

The rejection was primarily on the grounds 0f parking and access.
An amendment to the original plans was submitted prior to the meeting and indications are that the developers will lodge an appeal in due course.
For at least the last 24 hours, a run of street lights have been out on the bottom part of Manchester Road between Broomhill and the Shore Lane junction.
This has resulted in almost pitch black conditions for pedestrians as soon as darkness falls around 5pm. It is not known whether the problems have been caused by the recent works taking place along various points on Manchester Road.
Street Force has been alerted to the problem. Until it is resolved, pedestrians and drivers are advised to take extra care.
