10p per bag now apparently.  Well it's been that for 2 years where we shop, I try to take our own which are quite heavy.

The rules in Wales are different to other parts of the U.K. , here all shops charge 5p not only large shops, the stupid thing is there is a 5p charge for paper bags and also small bags that they use to put meat into, I don't mean loose meat I mean already packaged but sometimes I want to keep it apart from the other shopping 

Christmas wrapping paper is in the firing line now

I've sorted a lot of wrapping paper since Sunday, most will go into our home composting system to rot down.  Or cut down and re-used next time  old habits really do die hard.

My husband received his Boundless magazine in the post today covered in a compostable bag. First one like that we've had. I'm about to put in our garden composter.

The Camping and Caravan magazines have done that for 6 months.  I have tucked them into one corner of our compost heap to keep an eye on how fast they rot down.

Good idea. We've now got a plastic bin composter instead of a heap as we only need small amounts of compost now. Will be interesting to see what happens.

We had one of those large plastic turn-it-over cylinders years ago, I couldn't turn it when it was empty  let alone when it was full

Just wondering what to do with a pile of online shopping plastic mail bags ? I have reused a lot in the past as we have sold a lot on Ebay after house contents sort out but the bags are now piling up as we've little left to sell on Ebay now.
Can you put them in something like the collection at Sainsburys for plastic bags ? Any suggestions please ? Charity shops seem to have their own bags now.

The local council here accepts all plastic for recycling. It can go in the recycling bin. Shame the scheme is not nationwide.

Some plastics have to go to a Supermarket outlet as they can take what kerb side can't. 

Those charity bags pushed through the letter box are used in this household to bring home trout ;-).   A good bag for a good sized fish, works every time ........
