Garden Waste

Under the current waste collection scheme, garden waste can be collected from your house on your non-recycling collection day (black sacks – pink square on your calendar).

To have garden waste collected, it must be placed in the special green sacks that can be purchased from any of the council’s libraries or from Island Waste direct.

Details of the cost and where to purchase them are found below.

You can of course dispose of garden waste at your local household waste recycling centres or compost your garden waste at home

Green sacks can be purchased from council libraries (see list below) or directly from Island Waste. Sacks cost £1.30 each; If you order 5 sacks or more, the sacks can be delivered to you by Island Waste. Call the firm on 0800 328 3851 to arrange this.

Place your filled green sacks on the kerbside next to your black sacks and they will be collected on your normal non-recycling collection day.

N.B Green sacks bought from supermarkets and other shops are not the correct sacks and garden waste placed out for collection in such sacks will not be collected.

The sacks cost £1.30 each and are available from Isle of Wight Council-run libraries. These are:

Ryde Library
Newport (Lord Louis) Library
Sandown Library
Ventnor Library
Freshwater Library
