The best environmental options are to reduce the number of bags you use and to reuse bags. However, once they’ve reached the end of their lives, plastic bags can be recycled.
Recycling plastic carrier bags reduces the amount of waste that we send to landfill. It also reduces the use of virgin materials.
Recycling facilities for plastic carrier bags can be found at a range of shops and local authority recycling points. You can find your nearest recycling point at Sort It website.
