If, like us, you found your local bottle bank full to overflowing this morning, below is a list of all of the bottle banks on the Isle of Wight.
As most of you will know, the council has decided not to have any rubbish collected over the Christmas / New Year period (until Monday 2 January 2012), so many forward thinking people might now be looking to get rid of some of the rubbish that inevitably collects over Christmas.
Those intentions might be frustrated if the bottle bank is full, so rather than just dumping them outside the usual containers, a short trip might well find you another bottle bank.
Finding the information on the Isle of Wight council was more than a little difficult, so rather than put you through it, we’ve collected all of the data and put it below. Happy recycling!
