Waste bins have been removed from the Vale Parochial Cemetery for a trial period, due to rising costs.
The Vale Constables' website states that maintaining the cemeteries cost more than £80,000 in 2024, with £55,000 coming directly from ratepayers.
The cemetery committee says it needed to act to prevent further parish rate increases.
Committee President Denise Cohu says users were ignoring signage and filling the eight bins on site with a combination of dead flowers and plastic packaging, which then had to be sorted.
She hopes islanders will take their rubbish home.
"We felt that the amount that one person would realistically be removing from the cemetery wouldn't be particularly heavy, and they would be perfectly capable of putting it into their own waste system at home.
"We have to empty the rubbish into the skip, a large metal skip, which is extremely expensive to have removed, and it has to contain the right items as well.
"It is not easy, and we just thought it would be worth a trial, to see how everyone responded.
The trial will last up to eight weeks, and public feedback is welcome.
