The Council manages commercial waste and recycling on St Agnes, Bryher and St Martin's through off-island waste management contracts. All the off island sites, except for St Martin's which benefits from a kerbside collection service, operate a on a bring-site basis where material is brought to a central site for processing and onward shipment to St Marys.
As the Council does not recieve income for the processing, transportation and disposal of commercial waste it is vital that producers of commercial waste ensure that payment is made to cover these costs.
