Hard Plastics - A to Z of recycling

Hard plastics such as childrens’ toys and garden furniture that are in good condition can be offered for reuse.

The company which was accepting our hard plastics for recycling will no longer take the material from us. We have been trying to find an alternative company but unfortunately we have not found any possible outlet for our hard plastic material.  We, therefore, have no option but to send this material to landfill until a suitable outlet becomes available.

The best option is always to reduce consumption of plastic material. Or you could offer usable items on a re-use website such as Freegle or Freecycle.

Failing this you could try taking your items back to the retailer so that they are responsible for the costs of recycling or disposal.
