A council is trialing new bins featuring four different compartments - for all household waste and recycling. North Somerset Council say the "innovative'' approach to collections will help reduce litter.
The trial will look at the advantages of using the larger bins - which feature four compartments, three wheels and a lid. Called 'Quatro' bins they are already a big hit in Scandinavia.
Residents in north Somerset taking part in the trial will use these new style bins instead of their existing multiple recycling and waste containers. The bins will be collected by a specialist recycling vehicle which features a unique lift mechanism that matches the bin's four compartments to the lorry's four collection chambers.
