Thousands of residents living in Bristol will receive recycling sacks to put their rubbish in instead of separate boxes.
About 8,000 homes in the city centre and along main roads will be given an orange sack, which all dry material should be thrown into.
The planned change is expected to be rolled out between April and June of next year and will affect properties such as flats above shops, where there is little space on busy pavements to store recycling bins.
Ken Lawson, the city council’s head of waste and recycling, said: “It’s a positive step to address properties across the city that have maybe been under-serviced and also caused disproportionate issues.”
