Good point - I should have mentioned that in the article.
Some months ago I found that my plastic recycling tub had been smashed due to UV exposure and rough handling by the boyos on the local Council's collection truck. So I rang the Council to get a new one. In passing I asked, "What should I do with the old one, is it recyclable?"
To which the answer was, "Well theoretically yes," (it's stamped *Recycle 5*). "But we won't collect the old ones because they're too big."
The advice was to cut it up and send it to landfill...
;-)
Groan.
I hope you found a way of getting it to a recycling centre...
