Douglas Borough Council will only collect one wheelie bin per property from this autumn.
Those with second bins will not be entitled to a double collection, and going forward, those requesting a second will be assessed on an individual basis.
Councillor Falk Horning explained since plans to introduce fortnightly collections were shared, some residents have been ‘panic-buying’ wheelie bins to increase their household waste capacity.
Councillor Stephen Pitts thinks the authority have made a big mistake:
Two more schemes backed by government fund
Island to get Bikesafe scheme for first time
Jurby Junk's Stella dies aged 90
No plans to publish UK's assisted dying letters
Burst water main disrupts Onchan supply
Government advice following spike in data breaches
Plans for four-foot flood walls at Ramsey harbour
Garage blaze in the early hours of this morning
