Here we have the underground bins on Fargate. Now I’m starting to wonder if this is the end game with the bins that they’re only putting fences at either end because you can still walk up to it and trip on the metal bits. If the metal bits have been flush with the ground, you’d have never tripped on them in the first place. I’m not even sure if they’re operational yet because they were waiting for lifting equipment and vehicles to do it, but the council refused to provide a breakdown of costs for these underground bins. Can they tell me why or can anybody tell me why?

They'll be a company selling this crap to the council making lots and lots and lots of cash.. then it turns out the council don't even use this stuff and they spent all this millions of pounds on crap that they don't use. But the guy selling this rubbish will be rubbing his hands together looking for his next contract
Shithole and people still wanting greens in to run our council proper backwards people in our city😡
Are they purposely shaped to look like the “car ramming of peace” barriers . Ugly things .
Ridiculous waste of money and a trip hazard
Do you know how regular they will be emptied? Once a month ? Once a fortnight?
Surely cost a fortune compared to normal commercial bins at back of shops and businesses
It all looks filthy and ugly. This was caused by turning offices above Fargate into bedsits for migrants. These waste disposal units were not on the artist's impressions.
Sinister looking things Tim. Don't get too close to them!
What a total waste of money Tim 😞
I think they look quite smart – certainly better than the mass of wheelie bins they have now. But only time will tell if they work well.
They are pretty pointless really.
Where there's blame. There's a claim 🤑
Hideous looking things and look awful and sinister looking. Why are they so close together? Surely litter bins should be more spaced like one at the top of Fargate other in the middle of Fargate and one at the bottom of Fargate. Stupid and ridiculous! 🙄
They really blend in with the new look Fargate!
Fargate has been absolutely ruined. It's one of the reasons I left Sheffield and now live in Scotland. The barking mad council spent millions, brought highly skilled Italians over to install beautiful granite stone paving. There were nice seats under beautiful trees, live music buskers. Very pleasant. They have now ripped everything out and replaced it with cheap looking blocks, hideous bins and the place looks like a ghetto. It's like they can't waste money fast enough.
What a complete eyesore, Tim.
Just about everything they do, local or national is a half-arsed over expensive fuck up. At least they're consistent 😂
Town centre modernisation vanity projects need to be binned. Invest in insulating all residential council tenants homes instead.
Look better on Sheffield City Council if they spent more money on the homeless and mental health situation boils my blood wasting money on absolutely nothing 🤷♀️🤦♀️😡
Looks like it wants a good jet wash scruffy all that was good is gone
How long before someone drops a lighted rag in them when half full – a smoking stench machine !
Seems like a good idea in principle if they are emptied regularly
