Shropshire residents will no longer be able to dispose of plastic bottles at recycling banks from the new year, it was revealed today. Waste firm Veolia will begin removing the recycling banks from January 9.

It said the decision had been taken following the rolling-out of kerbside plastic collections to all parts of the county.

Sara Brown, policy and development manager at Shropshire Council, said some banks had already been removed where there was 'a need to make space for the new cardboard recycling banks'.

She said: "They are being removed because they were only ever intended as a temporary arrangement."

But the decision has angered some, who claim it has caused more confusion following the axing of kerbside cardboard collections.
