A trial that involves items such as plastic bags included in waste collections is being extended.
A trial project to enable more households to recycle plastic bags and wrapping in their weekly collections is being expanded.
Currently, the only way to recycle these materials - including carrier bags and cling film - is at supermarket collection points. They join about 3,500 households in Frome that have already recycled approximately 27 tonnes of soft plastic waste - equal to roughly 95,000 bags - since the scheme was introduced there in May 2023.
