Soft plastic recycling

Have you got really good at recycling your plastic but still find yourself wondering what to do with all the plastic you can’t put out for kerbside collection?

Put it in the Yellow Bins that Cotswold Fosseway Lions Club have provided at the Black Cat Café and Northleach Primary School!

Soft plastic recycling includes:

• bread wrappers

• fruit & vegetable packaging

• crisp packets

• salad bags

Lions Club members collect the filled bags of soft plastic and take them to Tesco in Cirencester. Tesco expects to collect more than 1,000 tonnes a year and aims to recycle as much of this material as possible back into products and packaging sold in their stores.

Check out what other supermarkets are doing in store too – Co-Op and Sainsburys have similar bins in selected stores.
