Having found that crisp packets and other plastic items that are put into the blue-lidded wheelie-bins supplied by Coventry City Council are not actually recycled but burned, Michelle Mcmanus set up boxes outside her home where anyone can deposit them plus and the outers that multi packs come in and other items.

They will be sent to make garden furniture.

She also started the Facebook group “Coventry recycling crisp packets and extras” where she provides advice about recycling.

Anyone can drop items in the bins outside
