We are trialling a brand new collection of household food plastics

Anyone can bring along plastics from the list that follows to put into the dumpy bags that will be available in the recycling area which is on the left as you enter Morrisons Car Park. Look out for the Sustainable Crediton banner!

We can accept: clear and coloured drinks bottles, household cleaning fluid bottles, shampoo & shower gel bottles, margarine and ice cream tubs, cream, yoghurt & cottage cheese pots, salad pots, fruit and veg trays, frozen food bags, sandwich boxes, plastic packaging, preformed biscuit and chocolate box trays, cds and cases, plastic flower pots

We cannot accept: polystyrene, bubble wrap, cling film, biodegradable plastic, paint tubs, plastic toys, pet food or soft drink pouches, crisp packets, and any plastic mixed with other materials.

All plastics should be clean and lids should be loosened.

Depending upon the response to this trial the WAGS group may expand this scheme across Crediton in coming months.

So start saving up your plastic to bring along and please tell all your neighbours and friends to do the same.

We will report on how the trial went in the October newsletter.
