CARTON recycling bins have been installed at 17 points throughout Brighton.

They take cartons of fruit juice, milk, soup, fabric conditioner and other recyclable cartons.

These items are not to go in household mixed recycling bins and should instead dropped into the new “special bins”.

The cartons will be collected, baled and transported to a recycling mill to be made into a number of different products, from plasterboard liner to high-strength paper bags and envelopes.

The scheme was introduced following requests from residents who took part in Brighton and Hove City Council’s waste strategy consultation.

The locations receiving the new bins are the south end of The Level, Chalky Road opposite Community College, next to the old bingo hall in Portland Road, Freshfield Way, Marine Cliff Car Park, Pepperpot at Queens Park Terrace, Withdean Stadium, the north entrance of Preston Park, Coldean Lane, King Alfred Leisure Centre car park, Moulescoomb Leisure Centre, the Co-op in Lewes Road, Whitecross Street, and Ladies Mile Road in Patcham.
