recycling plastic coathangers in huddersfield

Originally uploaded by futureatlas.com

 

Last year I was fulminating about plastic coat hangers – well only yestrday I was ambling round Tesco when I took a detour into the clothes section. there I saw a coat hanger recycling box. For plastic ones of course

I also happened to notice lurking behind the counter in BHS a cardboard box labelled coat hanger recycling.

You could of course offer them to your local charity shop or freecycle them

Returnable Bottles?

Really cant give up fizzy drinks but dont want to buy them in poison plastic bottles? Think using a container once then throwing it away is a profligate waste? Well move to Huddersfield where we have lemonade and other stuff in  returnable glass bottles. I know it sounds a crazy idea but in the olden days people used to reuse bottles all the time. These days of course we throw the plastic bottle away, but there are still some reusable bottles out there. Ben Shaws fizzy drinks come in one litre, glass, returnable bottles with a 20p deposit. And they sell Dandelion and Burdock. The greengrocers and newsagents on Westbourne Road Marsh stock them and I am sure there are others.

 

Plant pots

I am so very happy, the sun is out the garden is blooming and I have just planted a new guilt free fern Until now I have been unable to buy a plant without being consumed by shame. In my cellar is a huge mound of plastic plant pots. Wonderful sturdy plastic plant pots that having emptied I am now supposed to throw out. Its a shocking misuse of resources and places a terrible strain on our waste disposal services. 90,000,000 kg of plant pots are sent to landfill every year and that’s in Yorkshire alone. That’s why I feel the shame.

But help is at hand. I got that statistic from a leaflet picked up in Armitages Garden Centre advertising their solution to this big problem. They are collecting and recycling plant pots. The process is simple – clean the pot and return it to an Armitages Garden Centre The pots are then collected by Lynwoods a Halifax based company who will recycle them into garden furniture. That’s recycled in Halifax not China.
