There's now a bin at the Co-op where people can bring their soft plastic waste to be recycled.
At the moment, soft plastic has to go in the purple sacks rather than the red recycling tub for kerbside collection.
The bin will take the plastic wrappers around toilet rolls and kitchen towels, and things like sauce sachets (but clean them first!), crisp packets and pouches for microwaved rice or pet food. Also bread and cheese wrappers, biscuit wrappers, the thin film lids of yoghurt pots and similar food in pots, and pasta bags, thin carrier bags, clingfilm, pizza wrapping film. They will accept material which was not bought at the Co-op, but can't guarantee that packaging from other stores is suitable for recycling.
The bin does not take any compostable bags, or plastic bottles or trays.
