The council share this latest news. Ed
The 2017 annual recycling and waste services booklet will arrive on people’s doorsteps from this week.
Following feedback in the annual recycling and waste services survey, the booklet has been updated to include a clearer list of what can be recycled.
Your recycling and waste collection calendar is also part of the booklet; and this year, following a suggestion in the annual survey, includes school holiday term dates.
Key information
Your booklet contains key information on recycling and waste collection including additional services such as collection plus, assisted collections, bulky waste collections, and the free re-use collection service.
It also provides details on what items can be taken to household waste recycling centres at Lynnbottom and Afton Marsh.
Paul Southall, account director for Amey on the Isle of Wight, said:
“We have listened to customer feedback and the suggestions from our Community Waste Forum and updated the booklet to reflect many of the ideas put forward.
“More pictures and a more detailed list of what can and can’t be recycled will help people to recycle more and waste less. The addition of the school holiday term dates and bank holidays was a very simple suggestion from the public but one we think many people will find very useful.”
