      3)When will you be discussing the above, with regard to their promoting your collection schemes, with all your local stores? and - The supermarket shelf edge is a good place to put recycling, and health, information, eg Products that shouldn't be flushed - cotton buds, wet wipes, dental floss, wrappers, (condoms?) and ?
