DoI believes change will save £35-50k per year
Paper recycling at bring banks on the Isle of Man is being stopped from next week in a bid to save money.
It's hoped the move will also lead to an increase in the amount of material being processed at the Energy from Waste plant.
The Department of Infrastructure says the amount of paper being recycled on the Island has fallen dramatically in recent years, and cutting the service will save between £35,000 and £50,000 each year.
Paper banks will be removed from the Eastern and Northern Civic Amenity Sites, but the Western and Southern facilities make their own arrangements for paper.
Residents who currently dispose of their paper in bring banks are instead asked to put it in their wheelie bins to be processed at the incinerator.
Kerbside collections and cardboard recycling at civic amenity sites will not be affected.
