Location :-
Sadly we have lost our closest mixed plastics recycling banks at Sainsbury’s in Badgers Farm. There are several new locations in and around Portsmouth, which you can read more about HERE.
We also believe there are recycling banks in Surrey at:
Tongham Community Centre (GU10 1DU)
Coronation Gardens, Ash Hill Rd, Ash, GU12 5DP
Carrinton Fields, Carrington La, Ash Vale GU12 5PG
Plastic containers can also be reused around the house for everything from storing leftovers, planting seedlings, keeping toys tidy or storing nails in the garage.
Plastic lids can be recycled through alternative schemes – see the section for Plastic Lids.
Plastic bags and film can be recycled locally – see sections Plastic Bags and Plastic Film.
