Brighton & Hove Council Recycling

Does anyone know what type of plastic Brighton council takes? I put in no. 1, 2 & 5, but after reading some websites no. 5 seems to be the wrong type. I have looked on their website but I can't find anywhere where it tells you the type.

Long shot I know, but some lovely person out there will know. :kiss:

    I'm not sure if the Magpies GreenBox plastic content goes to the same place as the councils recycling but their site says only 1 & 2

    I live in Waveney and our council is horrendously unclear about what can and can't go in our blue bins.
