Douglas Council's thrown out a suggestion people could separate rubbish into four boxes for recycling.
When the local authority meets on Wednesday it'll discuss an executive committee report about its recycling boxes policy.
A recommendation to adopt a new policy forcing people in the capital city to separate glass, plastic, steel and aluminium and paper and cardboard was voted down.
But councillors voted to keep up attempts to educate people about how to use the recycling scheme.
