Reusing plastic bottle tops!

We often get asked about plastic - its the bane of a waste managers life! Thankfully the Council are now collecting plastic bottles for recycling in Shropshire, but they dont want the lids! This means literally MILLIONS of plastic lids have to go landfill every year.


Well I’ve just been sent this useful tip for re-using the lids from plastic bottles – it saves them from going in your bin and gives them another life, it will also save you from having to buy bag clips …


Make an incision and using a pair of scissors cut the plastic bottle RIGHT AT the NECK.

Then you just simply have to stick a plastic bag through the NECK of the bottle which you have just cut off.  Screw cap back on for a perfect seal!

Clever hey?

The rest of the plastic bottle can be recycled as normal with your plastic bottles, its just the lids they wont collect.
