Veolia releases videos as part of a campaign against 'unacceptable' treatment of staff.

Bin workers in Sheffield have faced "a surge in physical and verbal abuse," according to a waste collection firm.

Veolia said frontline staff reported more than 40 incidents of abuse from members of the public last year. It released footage of one incident in which recycling workers were confronted for refusing to take extra waste. In another video, a driver is seen dangerously mounting the pavement in his van to get past a lorry in the street as workers empty bins.

The footage was captured by CCTV cameras on bin lorries and realised as part of the Streetkind campaign launched by Veolia and Sheffield City Council to stamp out abuse.
