Recycling Your Waste

If you wish to take part in either of the kerbside recycling schemes you need to contact us on 821000 or email Highways or join on-line.

You will be provided with a black box for the recycling of the following items:

The Black Box is collected by a purpose built collection vehicle. Operatives sort the contents of your box at the kerbside into separate compartments in the vehicle. Island Waste currently have 3 of these vehicles servicing the Island.

The collection of the black box is fortnightly, on the same day as your normal refuse collection. The box must be placed on the kerbside by 7am on the morning of collection. Check your collection day and recycling week.


Please do not include cardboard, junk mail, catalogues, glass cook wear or drinking glasses.
