Some Isle Of Wight Bin Collections SUSPENDED Due To Heatwave

Bin collections in Newport, Gunville and Carisbrooke have been suspended due to the hot weather, the Isle of Wight Council has said.

The council says the action has been taken "for the safety of its collection crews", as temperatures reach 30C and over. 

An amber warning of extreme heat is in place across the Isle of Wight and southern regions.

The suspension means some waste or recycling may not be collected today that would usually take place on Friday.

A full list of Roads in Newport, Gunville and Carisbrooke where resident’s collections are affected can be found at Waste News and Developments - Service Details (iow.gov.uk)

Assisted collections will not be affected.

They are advising residents that if your bin/sack is not collected today:

  • Leave the bin/sack out and it will be collected as priority tomorrow (Saturday 13 August)
  • If your waste or recycling has not been collected by 12 noon on Saturday 13 August, please report to the council online at www.iwight.com/waste
