Plastic is very patchy and even in areas where they do have facilties
it varies on what a particular point will take. Penrith will take
films, bags and hard plastics, Carlisle hard plastics only and no
cartons at all.

Worcester will recycle type 1 and 2 plastic. But here's the laugh, when we
recycled using plastic collection bags they would take ali foil which I
would think would be very good income. Now they have gone high tech with a
multi million pound waste recycle facility which CANNOT handle ali foil.
So it goes in the landfill!!!!

What is "type 1" and "type 2" plastic?

This is really eco-speak-********.

How is an old lady meant to deal with that?
