Quick ways to go green and save

The thing annoying me most at the moment is the proposal to charge us extra for our bottles/cans and supposedly refund it when recycling.  We already recycle all of them in the relevant council bin.  Due to our location miles from a supermarket and my disability we have our groceries delivered. So will the delivery guys be taking all the bottles and cans back?  Or do we drive the miles to the supermarket with them, using up fuel and putting more emissions into the air in order to get our refund.   It is just another way of getting extra tax for the government. 

Officers from my local council don't think government will go down this route, rather they will insist that councils offer kerbside glass collection, which some (including mine) don't currently do.

DO NOT SELL TO THE PHONE RECYCLERS - they NEVER pay 'top-dollar' as they advertise, in fact they pay well under the going rate.

Do your homework and sell on a suitable online platform. Don't take the first offer either. Describe your phone accurately.

Currys offers a £5 voucher (valid on purchases of £25 or more) for electronic items taken to a store for recycling — even if not originally bought from Currys. Also available on delivery of new items and removal of the old.

PLASTIC CARRIER BAGS
Many charity shops need donations of these bags for customers' purchases. It won't earn you money, but giving them away will do good!

If you take old electrical items to Curry's you get a £5 voucher off something in the shop if you spend £25. Doesn't need to work

Does anyone know of any shops that will take in an old electronic item for recycling, and perhaps give you a £5 voucher .... asking for a friend?

Hi

Just an idea for the government to save just a little of our hard earned money .....

Roll up and drop off a couple of non-working Magnox electricity power stations along with some non-essential leftovers from Sellafield and walk away with a £5 voucher off that nice shiny new toaster that No.10 have been eyeing ... we'd all be better off to the tune of ~£121,000,000,005 and CFurrys can be happy in the knowledge that the marketing department has done a very good job ...

You can see the last marketing convention's conversation right now ... "You work at BFudLight marketing? .... hold my beer - I work for CFurrys in the UK & I'll show you how it's done! .... " ....

OOps ....
