People in Arnside are soon going to be able to recycle their plastic and cardboard.
Blue bags will be delivered on the 20th and 21st of June.
They can be used for storing plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, as well as cans.
This latest expansion of kerbside collections follows on from roll-outs of the plastic and card service in Kendal, Ulverston town, Kirkby Lonsdale, Milnthorpe, Burton-in-Kendal and Ulverston coastal villages and means that 50% of the district will soon be receiving plastic and cardboard kerbside recycling.
Residents can start using the new blue bag for storing plastic and cans as soon as they receive it and the blue bag will be picked up, along with the blue boxes and green waste, on the next recycling collection date on their calendars.
When residents start using the blue bag for plastic and cans, they should use one existing box for glass only, with the other to be used for paper and card - ensuring that the card is kept separate from the paper, as this helps with the recycling process.
The council’s website has useful guides and videos about which container to use for which recycling materials and what happens to your plastic after collection.
This is the latest phase of an expansion of kerbside collections that will eventually take in the whole district by the end of March 2017.
To support the roll out of the service a new fleet of smaller recycling vehicles has been ordered, which will allow the service to be provided to the more remote areas and where access is restricted, while the main tourism areas in the Lakes will be included after the busy summer tourism period.
