Kerbside recycling is the right way forward for the Isle of Man, according to Braddan Commissioner Andrew Jessop.
The local authorities of Onchan, Braddan and Douglas are due to take over funding of a trial scheme for six months, when backing from central government comes to an end, after three years.
Chairman of Onchan Commissioners Brian Stowell has said his board has been given no indication in strategic terms of whether the current scheme is the best one for the environment and the Isle of Man.
But Mr Jessop is adamant that kerbside collections, in some form, should be part of the Island's waste disposal strategy:
Court orders return of property seized by police
Number of bus services cancelled or at risk today
Court to order election recount
Charity to connect elderly people with services at event
