    I have been saving used plastic milk containers for several months now. Filling them with plastic wrappers. The Mens Shed were using them as building plastic blocks. I now have a lot of them but can't get any answer from the number I was given as a contact for the shed. I've left messages also and sent a text. Can anyone help with a contact? Or does anyone know of a scheme using these plastic building blocks . Thank you

    That seems a bad approach to dealing with waste plastic.
    Plastic milk bottles are premium grade plastic and can be readily recycled (thus reducing the production of new plastics from fossil-fuels).
    Instead yours could be left to degrade in the environment?

    I recommend you deposit them at an amenity tip - and ignore whatever MMS are up to.
    The plastic wrappers are a different matter of course. Only some amenity tips accept them and I expect they are incinerated.

    Theoretically there may also be an issue of giving your waste to an unlicenced "operator".
