No milk carton collection for amenity site

Wed, 19 Oct 2022

The Isle of Man Creamery has told Douglas Council it will not collect its new tetrapak cartons from the Eastern Civic Amenity Site.

This is despite collecting them from other recycling facilities around the Island.

The creamery also said it will not provide the Eastern Civic Amenity Site with a bin for the new milk carton packaging.

At the Douglas Council meeting on 12 October, they were advised that ‘they [the creamery] do not wish to place a bin for cartons at the civic amenity site’.

During the meeting, Chair of the Eastern District Civic Amenity Site Joint Committee, Natalie Byron said: “We asked them to just put them back”.

The creamery suggested to the Eastern Civic Amenity Site Joint Committee at its last meeting, the members have a separate arrangement with its contractor and to meet the cost of the process itself.

Isle of Man Creamery has been contacted for a comment.
