Thank you for telling me what I should be doing.  It?s always good to be told what to do by others.    Actually, I have no choice but to buy food products with plastic films etc, and I am trying my very best do the right thing for the environment.    From what you say, as so little is recycled there is no point in me making any effort and I am therefore tempted just to throw the whole lot away along with general refuse.  Fortunately, I am a conscientious person and would not do that when I know facilities exist.    If anyone can tell me whether Sainsburys have a soft-plastics recycling bin, I would greatly appreciate it.    The reason for asking is because the recycling bin in the coop is quite small and I now have quite a large amount to recycle.
