Disposing of plastic bags

[Alan Medic]

What?s the most environmentally friendly way to dispose of them? I normally try to avoid them but having collected my son from his house share,it appears we've now got about a years supply of them.

[Annette Curtain]

Give them to a charity shop

They always need them

Surely that's just dispersing them to ease my guilt Netts?

[Annette Curtain]

Yes

But short of setting up a recycle unit

It's a good solution

I advertised mine in the Wanted section and someone connected with local markets took them the same day. Might be worth a try.

Otherwise I recycle them as rubbish bags or use them for de-pooing the garden (presents from local fox population, but seems to deter the cats so not all bad), but I do worry sometimes that that's just pushing the problem off onto the council.

Def give to a charity shop.thats recycling.No guilt at all.

Some charity shops charge a few pence for customers wanting their purchases in a bag, so no need to feel guilty as it helps their causes.

Sainsburys has a recycle bank in store at Forest Hill for carrier bags

And at the Dog Kennel Hill branch too. I drop all my platic bags there, including packaging from fruit & veg etc.

It's just inside the middle exit next to Starbucks.

If your son is old enough for a house share then why not let HIM figure out what to do with his plastic bags???
