Anyone dropping in at Crow Recycling can pick up free plastic wallets.

The wallets arrive at Crow with office waste paper for disposal. They’re separated when the paper is sorted ready to shred for animal bedding or sent for recycling.

Most plastic wallets are made from polypropylene plastics code 5. It can be recycled but needs a complex process including high temperatures. There aren’t that many plants that do it and they aren’t included in kerbside collections. So they’re more suited to reuse than recycling.

So if you drop in at Crow Recycling help yourself to a handful.
