Annual booklet and bin stickers

The annual residents recycling and waste booklet calendar is sent out by 1 May every year.

You can use our bin day collection tool, whilst you are waiting for your printed calendar.

If you have not received your booklet by 1 May, you can request one using the form below

The owner of our waste provider changed in 2023 and we had to remove the Amey logo from council bins. 

Instead of replacing your waste receptacles, we asked you to place a sticker on your bins and food caddies, covering only the Amey logo.

This will reduce waste and prevent unnecessary carbon emissions from replacing and delivering bins. As a community it stops us producing and adding more unwanted plastic into the environment. You can help us protect our Island biosphere.

You can also use the form below to order more stickers.

Types of bin stickers

Depending on your collection (bins or sacks) you should have received up to four stickers. They were delivered with the annual residents recycling and waste booklet in 2023.

  • the general waste sticker goes on your black wheeled bin
  • the recycling sticker is for your green wheeled bin
  • The food waste sticker is for your outside food caddy. You will be given two food waste stickers for your inside and outside food caddy
  • The garden waste sticker is for your garden waste bin, if you subscribe to the service. You will receive your garden waste stickers separately, not with the annual residents recycling and waste booklet.

The bin stickers have been designed to include icons on them, this is to help you see what goes in what bin. We are always working to help our community make recycling easy.

Reusable sack collection

If you have a reusable sack collection your sacks will be replaced over the course of the year. In the meantime, continue to use the ones you currently have. 

If you have reusable sacks and you are given a set of stickers for wheelie bins, don't waste them! You can use these as a visual guide for all the family, by sticking them to your bins inside your home that you use for internal recycling and waste bins.

Bins with stickers

Where and how to apply your stickers

  • make sure the bin surface where the sticker is to be placed is clean, dry and grease free
  • You can use a damp cloth to remove any dust or dirt and then wait until the surface is dry. This will help the sticker stick to the bin.
  • remove the white sticker backing
  • place over the Amey logo on the bin surface
  • With your finger or an old bank or store card. Work out from the corner to remove any air bubbles or wrinkles.
  • repeat the process for each of your bins

We have produced a handy ‘how to’ video, showing you how to and where to apply the stickers on the bins.

Thank you for your support and help.
