'Drive-through' rubbish bin
Funnel-shaped bins are being introduced at 25 service areas in the North West so drivers do not need to leave their vehicles to discard rubbish.
The bright orange bins are being installed in a bid to keep motorways cleaner.
Highways England said the first bins were aimed at lorry drivers, as many HGVs used the motorway services.
Further funnel bins for both cars and lorries will be installed at service stations in the coming weeks.
Clean Up Britain founder John Read described the funnel bins as a low-cost gimmick.
