The following rules have Issued by Councillor Bill Malarkey, chairman of the Eastern Civic Amenity Site Joint Committee.
The Eastern Civic Amenity Site Joint Committee, which operates the Civic Amenity Site at Middle River Industrial Estate, Douglas, has published rules applying to users of the Site. These rules are intended to deter the deposit of commercial waste and to generally ensure that the Site is well-managed and easy to use for domestic users.
The rules include:
• a limit to the amount of rubble and inert waste being brought in, to 6 rubble bags (or equivalent quantity) per person per week or 12 bags in a month.
• a height limit of 2.2 metres on vehicles entering the Site;
• a limit to the time any individual may remain in the Re-Use area on Site, and for vehicles to be parked on Site, to fifteen minutes in any one day; and
• protection for users and staff on the Site from abusive or threatening behaviour.
Anyone breaching the rules will first be warned that they are in breach, and if they persist they may be barred from using the Site. The staff of the Contractor operating the site have the full authority of the Committee to do so.
Finally with effect from 1st April 2013 the following revised charges for disposal of fridges and freezers will apply. With the exception of the largest units these represent a reduction over current charges.
Standard units: ?10.00 (currently ?14.34)

Large units: ?12.00 (currently ?19.14)
(Up to 172 cm high, 54 cm wide and 56.5 cm deep)
