Braddan Commissioners have rolled out new ‘recycling trolleys’ this week, as part of a trial involving 100 households across the parish.
The stackable boxes were ordered by the authority earlier this year, in a bid to make the kerbside recycling process easier for residents.
Axles and wheels were not delivered at first by the supplier though, which delayed the start of the trial, but have since been delivered.
Each unit cost the authority around £50,00.
