Plastic film

Plastic films are NOT usually accepted as part of your household recycling scheme or at your local recycling centre.

However, some types of plastic films can be recycled in the carrier bag collection points at the larger stores of most major supermarkets including Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, The Co-op and Waitrose.
