Got a stack of old supermarket carrier bags at home and wondering what to do with them? You’re not alone! It turns out our trusty ‘bags for life’ might not feel so reusable after countless trips. Fear not, as No1 Binman, a TikTok sensation with over 170,000 followers, has settled the recycling debate for us.
So, are those Tesco bags recyclable or not? According to No1 Binman, yes, they are—but don’t just chuck them in your household recycling bin. Doing so can jam up recycling centre machinery, which is definitely frowned upon. Instead, bring them back to your local supermarket, which should have the facilities to recycle them properly.
But what about paper bags? The good news is that paper bags are usually recyclable too, unless they have a pesky plastic lamination. Those laminated layers can’t be recycled, so keep an eye out!
While we all love a clever recycling hack, the simplest solution is to keep reusing your bags whenever possible. It’s always a win to be both eco-friendly and practical!
Whether you’re a recycling novice or a seasoned pro, No1 Binman’s tips are sure to clarify some of the confusion around this hot topic. Got more recycling conundrums? You know who to follow for more useful advice! ♻️🛍️
