Expect to see purple bins popping up and our iconic purple waste trucks driving down the streets of Sheffield, Rotherham, and Barnsley soon, as Divert is expanding into South Yorkshire. Businesses across the county can now access our services for regular, reliable, and affordable commercial waste collection.
Currently, Divert’s purple trucks and matching bins can be seen across York, Leeds, Bradford, Harrogate, and Wakefield, with the company’s roots in North and West Yorkshire. After many successful years and thousands of happy customers, we thought it was the right time to offer our services to those businesses just that little bit further south.
Many businesses in South Yorkshire can take advantage of free purple bins – only pay for collections – and a diversion of all waste away from landfill from the start of October.

Why use Divert in South Yorkshire?
Divert provides regular waste collections for businesses and some one-off removals and office or household clearances. Services cover everything from regular trade waste removal, such as daily food waste, general waste, and cardboard recycling collections from businesses, to removals of old sofas from homes and one-off office clearances.
Save money on your commercial waste management in South Yorkshire as Divert provide free bins. Customers don’t pay for the purple bins – with no hire or delivery fees – they simply cover the cost of collections. This could be daily, weekly, or fortnightly collections based on the needs of the business.
As the name suggests, Divert operates a zero-waste-to-landfill policy, meaning all collections are processed sustainably and diverted away from landfill sites. Businesses pay less in landfill tax for disposal this way and do their bit for the planet as waste is recycled, composted, sent to anaerobic digestion plants, depending on the material.

What does the future
hold for Divert?
South Yorkshire marks the start of a plan to expand the company to have full nationwide coverage. Divert aims to follow on from Sheffield, Barnsley, and Rotherham with expansion into Doncaster before continuing to set up services further south.
John Verity, Managing Director at Divert, said:
“We’re beyond excited to be expanding the Divert offering into South Yorkshire. This marks the start of an exciting chapter as we look to roll out our coverage to more towns and cities across the UK.
“Our move will help to support business and domestic customers across the region to save money on their waste, and provide more options for sustainable disposal. Our commitment to diverting waste from landfill will help contribute to local circular economies and reduce regional carbon footprints.”
