PRESSURE from environment-conscious residents has led to the launch of a recycling initiative this week.
Council bosses are trying out a plastic bottle recycling bank in Ripon at the request of local people.
They are also considering installing similar facilities at other locations across the Harrogate district.
The plastic bottle bank has been added to the mini-recycling centre in the car park at the city's Safeway store and it will be serviced by Todd Waste Management, of Thirsk.
