Clear recycling sacks deliveries to begin shortly

Households on the Isle of Wight that use clear recycling sacks will soon begin to receive their next supply of bags.

Deliveries will begin from 7 January and are estimated to take around five weeks to complete meaning homeowners should get their new sacks by February 11.

In a change to last year, each household will receive enough bags for a 12 month supply, instead of six months.

In the meantime, any households that are low on current supplies of clear sacks can put recyclable items in white sacks instead, or they can take waste to any of the council's three household waste recycling facilities at Lynbottom, Afton and Forest Road.
