Castletown bin collection days

Castletown, the Island’s ancient capital, contracts its refuse collection to Jones Services Ltd and publishes a map of collection days rather than a single bin day for the town. The Town Commissioners point residents to the Southern Amenity Site in Port St Mary for anything that will not go in the bin, and the Isle of Man Government lists the town’s refuse rate for 2026/27 as £220 per household.

Check your bin day

Use Castletown’s own page for your bin day

Isle of Man local authorities publish collection days as fixed weekdays, road lists, maps or PDF calendars rather than an address search BinWeek’s lookup service can query, so the page links to the authority’s own page and lets you set your own bin day.
