More than 900 signatures have been collected already
A Douglas resident has created a petition calling for the city council to reinstate weekly bin collections.
Karel Ver Elst has already collected more than 900 signatures online.
You can find the petition here.
He told Manx Radio he’s aiming to highlight councillors’ failings claiming they’re not listening to residents:
In response Douglas Borough Council said it's aware of the petition and notes the author has made criticisms of the authority based on his own personal opinion, including some personal attacks on individuals.
It adds: "While we respect the right to petition they should be based on statements of fact rather than statements of opinion and misleading information.
"We want to say again that, while the majority of 12,000 Douglas households have adjusted well to the new service, we do want to help residents with genuine concerns and they should contact the waste services team if they cannot recycle or have limited recycling capacity."
