Lynnbottom Household Recycling Centre near Newport is now closed for the next week 2 weeks to allow a major facelift of the site to take place.
The site will benefit from improved traffic flow; an increase in the number of recycling bays and the installation of a new commercial ‘pay as you throw’ business recycling and commercial waste area.
Residents who wish to dispose of any household waste and recycling during the temporary closure between 1st-14th August may use Afton Marsh Household Recycling Centre in Freshwater from 07:00 to 20:00, which will be open 7 days a week to dispose of household recycling and waste and bulky items.
Residents may also take a limited number of recyclables and garden waste to a temporary recycling centre that will be provided by Amey at Smallbrook Stadium, Ryde. The Smallbrook Stadium temporary facility will be open every day from 1st to 14th August from 08:00 through to 16:00 and will only accept the following items for recycling:
• Paper and cardboard

• Paint (must be in tins only with lids)
• Metal/tins
• Plastic
• Textiles
• Glass (no window panes or glass panels)
• Batteries
• Printer cartridges
• Green waste (grass cuttings, leaves, cut flowers and hedge trimmings only)
