I get a refund each week from Morrisons for returning the previous weeks bags (online, home delivery).

When I were a lad we used to get a couple of pennies for every glass lemonade bottle we returned to the shop.

I can raise your lemonade bottle to a soda syphon which was 7s 6d return on each bottle! Yes, best part of a ten bob note

In Scotland at least, online shops have a deal whereby they're allowed to make a flat charge for bags (40p I think) on the basis that it is too much of an administrative burden to count the bags used in each delivery. However Asda and Sainsburys, the ones I've used so far, both allow you to choose whether you want bags or not during the checkout process.
We always choose bagless, then we meet them at the kitchen door with a couple of ikea sacks. The shopping gets transferred to those, and the driver goes on his merry way.

It is obvious to most people that I was referring to those customers that don't choose bagless deliveries.

I've just started using Ocado again after a break. The order came with a bag charge for the number of bags they were going to use, but as I used my own bags instead, it was refunded from the shopping total the same day and before the bill was taken from my card.

It's Ocado who deliver on behalf of Morrisons, so that's why both systems are alike.

In the old days pop, milk and medicine bottles were routinely recycled.
Newspapers were used as toilet roll and for fish & chips etc.
Most people took a shopping bag or basket when they went shopping.
Recycling isn't new, but plastic bottles, carrier bags etc are!
