Islay - Disruptions to refuse collections w/c 27/07/26

Due to a mechanical issue affecting one of our refuse collection vehicles, we are currently operating with a reduced fleet and have only one collection vehicle available. Please see below for details of affected collections.

Affected collections:

  • Monday 27th July - We were unable to complete collections in Port Ellen due to the reduced vehicle availability. Residents are asked to leave their bins out for collection, as we aim to complete these collections on Thursday 30th July 2026.
  • Wednesday 29th July - Commercial glass collections will not take place as planned and will instead be collected on Wednesday 5th August 2026.
  • Thursday 30th July - Commercial general waste collections across Islay will be postponed and will now be carried out from Monday 3rd August 2026.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to restore normal service.
