Thanks Jess! That might be easier than packing them up and queuing at the Post Office.

They might be able to mend the glasses I just sat on, too 😂

Thanks, that's quite clear that they do take other shops' plastic.

That's very useful to know as I won't be accumulating such masses of stuff in the future I hope (I had been avoiding going into shops) so I can take them up when I'm passing.

Does anyone know of anywhere I can recycle plastic coat hangers? I'm assuming shops won't take any from other shops, and I don't think charity shops want them?

[Sue]

Does anyone know if Sainsbury's plastic recycling will take blue IKEA bags?

I presume IKEA will take them, but I have no plans to visit IKEA in the near future, and I seem to have accumulated eleven of them 😮

Alternatively, can anybody make use of them? I will keep two or three of them, but I would like to recycle the rest!

Try Freecycle. I bet someone will want them….

Crikey, I wasn't expecting so much interest!

These are all spoken for now, sorry!
