Your Questions About Recycling

I have been berated on a previous question for not recycling plastic?

Can someone please tell me where one can recycle the plastic that my council refuses to collect, we have nowhere else to take it.
I buy as little as possible without plastic wrap but inevitably there is some, usually with gadgets and stuff. We have no market where I can get beautifully fresh fruit n veg in brown paper bags, only a manky old barrow boy who sells stuff that doesnt last the night out, consequently I have to do my shopping in Tesco and, with a budget I have to pick the cheapest which is generally wrapped.
I really want to recycle as much as I can.
Rainyh…They do take plastic but only clear bottles
Insight…read my lips…The Council only take clear bottles..whether collected kerbside or at the local dump.
Its going to mean putting it with the general rubbish otherwise.

I am doing a project on recycling plastic bags and I need a catchy, unique, title. Any ideas?

Can you report a grocery store for falsely advertising that they are recycling plastic bag?

I used to work at a grocery store that had a disposal area for recycling plastic bags.

Can you still earn money from recycling cans and plastic bottles?

Before anything is said, I know it’s not a lot. I am going to collect over the next 9 months and then bring them in somewhere.

But my question is, can you still earn money from plastic bottles and cans? One of my teachers said that you really can’t recycle plastic bottles for money anymore, soo..?

(This is a person People to People fundrasier for a a trip, so if it is actually worth getting SOME money, I want to do it.)

Recycling plastic bottles that are still half full?

At my work I collect the recycling from our break room. What really frustrates me is that many times the plastic bottles of soda, juice or water are not empty. Is it “e-friendly” to dump the remains down the sink or just leave the cap on the bottle? Should I pour the remaining liquids out into the grass instead?

I don’t mind taking these huge bags home in my car trunk and disposing them at our curbside pickup, but what happens if they are still full?

Thanks!

I understand that clear plastic with the number 1 on the bottom of the container is the most valuable. Understanding that plastic is not worth a lot and is bulky in size, what I really want to ask is how do I crush my plastic one container at a time so I can save it and recycle it down the road?
