Malew bin collection days

Malew is the southern parish around Ballasalla, Ronaldsway airport and the Silverdale glen, and its Commissioners run their own refuse collection. The Isle of Man Government singles Malew out as the one authority with collections of paper, brown cardboard and green waste. BinWeek could not read the parish website’s robots file, so this page is built from the Government’s pages.

Check your bin day

Use Malew’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.
