A decision made by Douglas Council to give more than 100 households a bigger bin was made so everyone can ‘live’ with the scheme.
It comes after the council introduced a fortnightly bin collection service last year which led to several complaints from residents.
Despite the local authority saying it only received 164 requests for a household bin assessment, Councillor Falk Horning says they have always encouraged people who have had issues to get in touch.
He says the council has only given residents with a ‘genuine’ need the extra capacity:
Ramsey Remembrance service to be marked by maroon rockets
MEDS phone line to be down temporarily
Committee to examine link between poverty and poor academic performance
Police advice for trick-or-treaters to stay safe
How will Manx Care reduce the number of negligence claims?
Manx Language Festival to be held next week
Manxman sailings in doubt from tomorrow
Car falls down steep bank on Mountain Road
