Our milkman was always finished around twelve and the floats
were insulated ?? But suppose different areas have different
problems ? But it's worth doing something to reduce this plastic
usage ??

Even if that's not the case, any improvement in recycling is better than non at all.
Watched a "how it's done" type of program on tv a few weeks ago in which either Denmark or Sweden have a recycling policy on it's beer bottles (many of which are sold in supermarkets, so it's not just pubs/restaurants). Seems to work pretty well.

Problem solved !
This cures both problems, the gone can earn some booze money
collecting the empties instead of smashing them and real people
can get cheaper milk by doing the same??
Now why didn't l think of that?

I wash out plastic milk jugs for recycling too, but would rather have glass bottles. You can do a lot with that once its cleaned up. Don't know about milkmen though....its a quaint idea from days gone by, but people were nicer back then. Nowadays his little float would get ransacked
