Plastic recycling ( or not)

Robert from Havelock North

Our local council is telling us to put all plastic, other than no 1 and 2 into our rubbish as it cannot be recycled anymore. I suggest we take it back to the retailers for them to dispose of. Maybe then, they will force their suppliers to use only recyclable plastic, or other materials. It’s our landfill that’s taking it and who will pay? Us, the ratepayers! Return your plastic!
