It is good to have people like you doing that kind of digging and warning the rest of us. It is much appreciated because people want to give to charities, but only the ones that are above board! Thank you.

Oh ok, cheers, I didn't know that.
What do the Co-Op do with it all then?
"It makes my blood burn with metal energy..."
Personally, I chuck all of these bags straight into the plastics recycling bin. When we have stuff to donate I bag it up and take it to a charity like Oxfam.
