Isle of Wight waste and recycling collection over Christmas and New Year

Between Monday 23rd December and Saturday 4th January, many households on the Isle of Wight will have their bins collected on a different day than normal.

Most people will have collections on different days for a two-week period, although those collected on a Monday or Tuesday will only have one week of change. In addition, no bulky waste collections will be made between 23rd December and 5th January.

Collections will be back to normal from Monday 6th January 2020.

Don’t forget to recycle
Many households generate extra waste over Christmas including things like cardboard and cards, tins, glass bottles and clothing.

Most can easily be recycled and do not need to end up in the general waste bin or gull sack.
