Recycle Now plastic bags and wrapping

Recycle Now guidance for plastic bags and wrapping focuses on film-type plastics such as carrier bags, bread bags, crisp packets and outer wrapping that are usually excluded from normal kerbside collections. Check the accepted list for your chosen scheme first, because rigid trays, compostable packaging and heavily food-soiled film are common contamination mistakes.
