BREAKING: Another Kildare supermarket to recycle bottles and cans - after it's demolished and rebuilt

Supermarket giant Lidl wants to recycle empty beverage containers at  a County Kildare store.

The company is seeking to provide a deposit and return facility for customers.

This will be incorporated into already sanctioned plans to reconfigure its outlet at Athgarvan Road, Newbridge.

Lidl is seeking to amend a planning application which Kildare County Council has already approved.
