hi there


I have been reading up on hdpe and all the cool things that are being made out of it.


most of it is recycling  and cheap buckets

I decided to make this thread as a place for members to post where they found hdpe


hdpe is all around us  and all we have to do is find it

the odd colours are the hardest to find



I will start


bottle tops.

milk /bottle creates from pubs

wheelie bins(blue yellow, green, pink, purple, black, brown, red, lime, white)

ibc tanks  (white tanks different colours for lid)

barrels   (blue)

buckets  (orange)

milk cartons lids (red, light blue) cream cartons lids (purple)
