Braddan introduce fixed refuse charge 

Braddan Parish Commissioners have announced they’ll be introducing a fixed refuse collection charge.

The £82 fee per household aims to encourage residents to put less in their bin and make more use of existing kerbside and green waste recycling services.

This is in addition to a 2.61% rate increase, from 224 pence to 230 pence in the pound.

Chair Andrew Jessopp says, ‘recycling more will reduce the current disposal costs at the Energy from Waste Plant’, meaning parishioners can have a ‘direct influence on future refuse costs’.
