Why recycle plastic?
Due to consumer demand, plastic in all forms is one of the most
widely used packaging materials with over 5
million tonnes produced annually. Although plastic is
a relatively light material it makes up a large percentage of
waste going to landfill by volume.
What to do with plastic containers for recycling.
- Wash out to stop it smelling
- Squash the carton/bottle/container
- Remove the lid and place it in the general
waste bin
Please note that we do not collect milk bottle tops for
recycling.
What is made from the recycled plastic?
Items such as plastic bollards, benches and non-slip decking are
popular outlets for the recycled plastic.
