Joint development between five local authorities
A new £3 million civic amenity site in Braddan will open this month - on time and on budget.
The development is set to launch on 29 June.
It's next to the Energy from Waste Plant and is publicly owned' and operated by a board - made up of representatives from the five eastern local authorities; Douglas Council, Onchan, Braddan, Santon and Garff Commissioners.
It will provide recycling and has ‘improved facilities’ compared to those at the current site including a ‘much larger’ re-use area, skips and parking facilities.
It will also have space for disposal of domestic waste that cannot be recycled or re-used.
Building of the new site began in August 2022 after the current site in Pulrose was deemed to be approaching maximum capacity.
The final day of operation at the current amenity site will be Sunday, 25 June.
There will be no service in Douglas for three days (26-28 June) to allow staff to relocate all remaining equipment.
