Craven District Council has joined a national pledge to encourage more people to recycle their drinks cartons.

Even though cartons cannot currently be placed into the kerbside recycling bins, special collection bins are available at Skipton, Settle, Cross Hills, and Ingleton, says the council.

Eventually the old cartons will be recycled into a number of different products, ranging from plasterboard liner to high-strength paper bags and envelopes.

Coun Paul Whitaker, lead member for protecting and enhancing the environment, said: "We are supporting the carton recycling pledge to dispel the myth that cartons can't be recycled."
