Where can I find info on what types of plastic can be recycled?

[Gingerbear]

Our local authority have started collecting plastic bottles - 'not cartons, just bottles' said the helpful lady I spoke to today but no one could tell me which type. I know that there are triangular marks with '1, PET' '2 HDPE' etc on containers - but which ones are recyclable??

The LA website just says 'Plastic'

ours takes any plastic bottles afaik.
have a look on your local council website- ours has a list of what can and can't be recycled.
if they say "plastic bottles" and don't indicate which type then assume they will take them all.

sorry, just re-read your OP properly and seen that you've already looked on the website.

this and this any good or do you know this lot?

ah, thanks gigglewitch, that first site explains it well.

cool
