Question by Archipet: How can I recycle plastic food containers other than bottles?
Our kerbside recycling collects plastic bottles but won’t take any other plastics. We recycle or compost almost all other waste and we collect our plastic packaging – films, food containers, yoghurt pots, blister packs, etc. Anybody know how and where I can recycle this stuff because my garage is filling up with it!

I have researched the available channels extensively and have asked my local authority what to do with these plastics but they say that they simply cannot recycle them at present.
I live in England and am looking for a solution that is available here in UK.

If you live near a New Seasons grocery store, then you will find that they have a place where you can recycle any plastic containers with certain number one them (2,4,5,etc.). There are other places too. If you go onto your local recycling company website, they should have names and numbers of places you can recycle certain items. Hope this helps!
The best thing to do is first call your cities waste management.
They may have a list of places where you can take the other plastics to.
Another way is to find a way to reuse the stuff you have left over.
Some stores take plastics off your hands for free and some even pay you for it. The main key is to research it around your area.
