I think Trashco have changed over to square buckets now, so may indeed send them back.
Co op still do them, and try Asda ;)

I asked at Asda and they now re-use them as part of their recycle policy.

Are you looking in the right place maxyboo.

In our Morrisons they have a table in the fruit and veg section with plants on.  The buckets are under the table, they always have loads :happy:

It could be that some Morrisons sell more flowers so have more empty bucket to get rid off.

At the store in Bude where i shop they sell a lot of flowers as they are put in all the holiday cottages :)

you have to ask someone for them - you won't see them marked up for sale (well I never have!)

I got a load that were priced up in Newquay Morrison's a couple of years ago. No only were they priced up, they were bu one stack get another stack free.

You can guess what holiday souvenirs I brought home. Mrs Digger was not over-impressed, though!

Got some from Morrisons yesterday, they only had 6 so they give them me free. The manager told me they own the flower packing plant and he thinks they get them so cheap that its not worth returning them and having to pay wages to have them checked and cleaned before reuse.

Went in Morrisons again today and asked if they had any for sale. The man I asked went in the back and asked the manager and he said let him have them for 99p. Ended up with 19 of the big ones and 7 smaller ones for the 99p. :D It seems you just have to catch them at the right time.
