    As far as I know, the county council recycling goes into large clear plastic bags which you apply stickers to when you put them out. I think you can by the bags and stickers at lots shops in the county.
    I'd presume there are private collectors in your area also. The local governments were running radio ads advising everyone to ensure that any private collectors were properly licensed.

    I haven't called them very often, but I have found the CoCo to be pretty efficient on the phone (maybe I've just been lucky).
