Re: Plastic waste, how do we get rid of it?
I remember the days when bottles had a deposit on them,as kids we would collect them and take them back to the shops to get the deposit back,boosted the pocket money,as also newspapers and metal,took to scrap yard for money,,Re: Plastic waste, how do we get rid of it?
Hi TessARe: Plastic waste, how do we get rid of it?
I' ve just been looking around my lounge.Re: Plastic waste, how do we get rid of it?
Returnable bottles should be re-introduced, glass or plastic. Of course there is a problem for smaller shops now and that would be storage of the things, particularly if the local shop ended up receiving all the supermarket bottles !Re: Plastic waste, how do we get rid of it?
Re: Plastic waste, how do we get rid of it?
OK we have virtually nothing in glass bottles, nearly all plastic and there is a charge of approx 15p on liter bottles 10p on others and cans. There are recycle points at all large grocery stores, you save your bottles etc until you have a bin bag full, take them to the recycle machine, feed them in on at a time, press the green button and you get a ticket for the amount to spend at the store, if you dont want that press the red one and the amount then goes to the Red Cross. I think our biggest problem in the Towns are Mc. Donalds and KTFC packaging , which does sometimes get thrown on the floorRe: Plastic waste, how do we get rid of it?
We will only get rid of plastic bags when paper bags become cheaper for the stores to use.
