Douglas Council says it’s ‘unable’ to provide residents with an ad-hoc or additional bin collection service during the TT fortnight.
The local authority adds that it monitors demands during major events but balances this with its responsibility to deliver a ‘fair, safe and financially sustainable’ service across the capital.
However, the council has confirmed it increases the emptying schedule of public litter bins during the fortnight.
It ‘acknowledges’ the TT period can place additional pressures on some households, particularly those located along the course.
But says household refuse bins are provided for the disposal of domestic waste and it doesn’t have capacity to accommodate waste arising from visitors.
In addition, the local authority will not allow ‘excess waste’, like side bags, because these can be a health and safety risk to crews as well as the public.
The council says residents are ‘expected’ to manage their waste within the capacity provided and alternative options are available, including the use of civic amenity sites.
