Right so I know this is probably a first world problem but I’m going to indulge myself with a moan about... plastic bags from @Ocado 1/6
During the spring lockdown, we were pretty conscientious about avoiding the shops and doing more online deliveries.
At about the same time, @Ocado stopped its programme of recycling plastic bags, because that could obviously be a source of virus transmission. 2/6
The problem with this is that every time we have a delivery, we get about a dozen plastic bags. In the before times, I would just hand bags from the previous shop back to the delivery driver and get a 5p rebate. But recently they’ve been piling up in the garage. 3/6
Now I’m loathed to throw them away. Isn’t the whole point of recyclable plastic bags that... they can be recycled. I don’t want to shove them in landfill. 4/6
And also, I’m aware that there is value tied up in those bags. 5p each. If I had ten or twenty quids worth of 5p coins in a jar in the garage then I wouldn’t throw it away, I’d try to cash them in. 5/6
So please @Ocado can you reinstate the plastic bag recycling and rebate scheme? 6/6
