Hey all, I've got a huge amount of plastic containers I've built up over the years (some bought, some given…etc) and I want to get rid of them all. They are just clutter and I'm trying to get my house in order.
I've checked my local council website but it doesn't mention anything about it.
I've checked the local tip and they don't mention it either.
Is there somewhere I can give these items? They are mostly in good condition, microwaveable and freezable too, I don't want to just chunk em in a landfill.
Any suggestions? Thank you!

Contact your local scout group – mine desperately needs containers, and I can’t imagine it’s the only one.
Look up your local freebay on Facebook. I give away all sorts of stuff on there
Freecycle – someone will want them
Recycling giant skip at large Supermarkets. The ones that you usually need to drive to.
Put up in your local Facebook Group or Marketplace.
Charity shops always need plastic containers, either to sell or to store stuff in.
Our two local tips do have a huge skip each for plastic items so maybe just go and drive to yours to check it out first? I was amazed by ours and the stuff they take
Download the trash nothing app and advertise on there. Someone may want them.
Olio app
Every time you give someone something put it in a plastic container, and if it’s a gift put a bow on top 😂
My Dad and me are frequently handing each other stuff in plastic bags, and saying keep the bag! This is just the next step lol
See if local food bank want them. They often get donations of huge sacks of rice or pasta or dried pulses, that needs dividing up so people can carry them home.
