Over 1,200 Islanders Have Spoken — Review Unfair DIY Waste Charges!

The petition has now passed 1,200 signatures, and support is still growing every day. It’s clear that residents across the Island feel strongly that the new DIY waste charges are unfair, expensive, and place an unnecessary financial burden on ordinary households who already pay for waste services through council tax.

People aren’t just signing, they’re sharing their own experiences of how quickly these charges add up, especially for anyone doing essential home repairs. The message from Islanders is consistent: these costs are too high, and the policy needs to be reviewed.

Thank you to everyone who has signed, shared, and spoken up. Your support is making a real impact, and the issue is now being raised directly with the Environment & Community Protection Committee.

If you haven’t signed yet, please consider adding your name and sharing the petition with others who may be affected.
