Douglas Council says it's to extend its recycling scheme to apartment blocks on a trial basis.
The six-month scheme will be trialled at seven complexes - Ballanard Court, Hanover House, Hazel Court, Millennium Court, Queens Apartments, The Hollows and Waverley Court.
The local authority says it'll monitor how much recycling each building contributes before making a decision on whether to extend the programme.
Environmental services committee chairman Ritchie McNicholl says in the past those living in flats faced barriers to going green:
