    hollydays, I've had a look on their website as I've seen them there too, but can't seem to find them now
    I haven't got one!
  • You are right they don't seem to be there any more. It was only a few days ago I saw them. There were 3 different coloured bags that you could stand together. The other alternative is that they do a similar thing in their shopping bag range. They are big bags with handles on the sides and look as if they are made of a similar material, maybe this would work!!

    I use those cheap laundry bags that cost about £2.00 from poundstretchers (or whatever their new name is) They are supposed to be travel laundry baskets.

    They are net bags with wire in them and they pop up when you unfold them. They can be folded to take on holiday. They are like childrens pop up tents.

    I hope that description makes sense.

    They are are about 2 foot high and 12 inches square.

    I'm back the site is https://www.homerecycling.co.uk and they were £4.99 + p+p
    I know it sounds really sad! but they also have some excellent divided recycling bins that are alot neater but more expensive! I dont spend my life looking at sites for bins I do promise :o
