The Isle of Wight Council is telling Islanders not to put their bins out tonight ready for a Thursday collection, due to Storm Ciaran. As a result of the high winds forecast, there will be changes to waste and recycling collections across the Isle of Wight tomorrow. Islanders are being urged not to put the bins out tonight, but instead to put them out in the morning – although it will still be very windy. Natasha Dix, Service Director of waste and environment, says:
“Under the waste and recycling rules, you are able to place bins out after 7pm the night before your collection. “However, with the high winds forecast, we are asking for you to place your bins and reusable sacks out on the morning of your collection – this is to minimise any damage over tonight and early hours tomorrow to your bins and to prevent any bins from blowing into roads overnight.”
