Paper recycling bring banks are being phased out in November, due to cost and environmental reasons.
Government paper recycling banks are being removed from the Isle of Man to save money and because they are no longer deemed environmentally beneficial.
The government has determined that carbon savings from energy recovery through burning paper at the island’s Energy from Waste plant will be superior to recycling. This decline is being attributed to “the rise of online publishing and the continued fall in sales of newspapers and print products”. Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall said: "Making this change will mark a significant shift for a lot of households where paper has been recycled for many years alongside other items.
