    They should do, the country must consume vast quantities of juice, smoothies and sometimes UHT milk (yuck ).
    I think they're foil lined on the inside, so you can't put them in with cardboard.

        I strongly recommend people use Freecycle as well. Outr lovely council threaten us with all sorts of sanctions and fines if we have the nerve to leave our wheelie bins etc out for more than 24 hours. However, when I wanted them to take some bulky furniture away they wanted to charge me £25 and they reserved the right tio leave it on the kerb outside my house for upto 10 days.

        Put it on Freecycle and three days later someone came and picked it up as a restoration project.

          I fully agree, it's just I think they're very hard to recycle and I know Richmond don't collect them.

          Not sure if there's anywhere to take them for recycling but we must go through a fair few a month.

              A slim red bin for weekly rubbish collection, food waste
              A large grey bin for recyclables - plastic, tin cans, bottles, cardboard, paper
              A large brown bin for garden cuttings, grass

              The grey and brown bins are collected every two weeks...and the brown bin is not collected from November-March.
