Organic Milk in Cartons or Non-organic in glass bottles??

Oooo good news their website says they do have Organic Milk - I am going to leave a note for the milkman tonight and see what he says.

Well fresh from leaving my note out last night, my pinta appeared as normal this morning in a glass bottle but its Organic - I am so chuffed. All I needed to do was ask! Thanks everyone.

I am going to see if there is a milkman in our area - not seen one and I am around most of the day - maybe they come really early? I guess I will just have to snoop for empty bottles.

On Dairy Crest's website you can put your postcode in and it searches for a dairy near you.

I may be wrong, but I suspect your cardboard cartons are plasticised and cannot be recycled.

Cardboard alone cannot hold liquids, unfortunately.

The cartons from Morrisons are waxed and can be recycled where the local authority can be !!!!d to offer the facility

How much does it cost per pint/other arbitary unit?

Just wanted to say well done for going that little bit further to be green and organic at the same time- :A

I've always found organic milk went off quicker, so buy less but more often.To have it delivered though- I hope the milkperson is in a electric float instead of like round our way where they use old pick up type lorries:mad:

CrazyChemist - I looked into this when the thread first started - the only company I could find advertising thier prices was a local company called Kirby & West - they want 55p per pint for Organic. I'd assume most dairies are the same.


For us unfortunately, that is too high a price - we go through at least 6 pints a day, so until the supermarkets start using glass bottles, I'll have to will stick to buying my organic milk in plastic bottles from the normal shops.

I didn't ask, when I get my bill next week I will let you know.
