IN reply to Jean C Lewis's remarks regarding recycling (Letters, January 12), I fully support everything she stated.

I do know where there is a facility for recycling plastics. As I have worked in Bolton for many years, I have been taking plastic bottles to either Asda or Tesco recycling centres there.

Many times, I have wondered why these stores in Bolton can provide this facility but their stores in Blackburn do not.

Furthermore, the Safeway stores in Bolton provide a recycling facility for plastic bags.

I wonder if the new Blackburn with Darwen Council can show a green initiative by providing plastic recycling facilities as Bolton has been doing for many years.
