Reusable shopping bags?

We have a massive surfeit of bags for life, cotton totes, etc etc. If you’d like some please pm me for a time for pick up from Lowther Hill.

Is that an Ocado one on top, stuffed with plastic bags?

Ocado take back plastic bags and refund you 5p - for bags from any shop. This is from their FAQ:

What is your Bag Recycle Bonus?

From the 28th September, we will give you 5p for every used bag you give us to recycle. And that’s not just our carrier bags, we will happily give you 5p for carrier bags from other supermarkets too. It’s an improvement to our current recycling scheme that encourages everyone to recycle their used bags once they have finished with them.

Over the years we have collected and recycled tens of millions of used bags and turned them into shiny new ones, all to reduce the number of plastic bags in circulation.

Hey Irmani,

I’m a volunteer at the local foodbank on 118 Malham Rd. They need bags to give out donations all the time. They are open 10-12am on Wednesdays and 12-2pm on Fridays. If you could drop them off that would be a great help.

Thanks
Sylvia
