What Do You Recommend As A Substitute For ...

[wiltsman]

... the use of supermarket plastic bags, which I used in my kitchen waste bin affixed to a door under the worktop?

I never wasted these bags, but will soon have to look for an alternative. Ideas welcome.

[Canary42]

One alternative is to pay 5p for them.

[viv41]

Yes, pay for them. Unless it's cheaper to buy bin liners ...

[Mamyalynne]

Pedal bin liners would likely be the right size.

[gness]

If you get as many through the door as I do, Wiltsman......charity collection bags......

Well unless you need them to be extra strong, not sure you'd load such a bin with heavy stuff, bin liners are cheap enough.

My 'corner shop' still gives a free bag with a purchase, so no shortage for me.
The rules only apply to companies that have over 250 employees, my shop has 3 employees.

Bin liners?

[anotheoldgit]

Yes normal bin liners on a roll, but not pedal bin liners, as they would be too large.

[Mamyalynne]

By pedal bin I mean one that reaches to just below your kneecap - ie about as tall as a carrier bag.

[mushroom25]

you're maybe thinking of swing top bins, AOG - as championed by Ben Elton.......

[tamborine]

Avoid supermarkets Corner shops give them free

[maggiebee]

Shops like Poundland/Poundstretcher sell two rolls of bin liners for £1. They last for ages.

[Mamyalynne]

I'd rather buy bin liners than go shopping every time the bin needed emptying.


Mushroom I loved that sketch - at last someone who was like me I thought all those years ago.

Yes swing bins, of course so sorry, that serves me right for interfering in women's matters. :0)

[Mamyalynne]

Steady........

Thanks for all your replies. I will now have a discussion with myself and work out my next move!
