Full bags being dumped by Costa!

Our local recycling collection point is Costa in Ludlow. Took a bag in, they refused to take it saying they couldn't recycle it and the scheme was ended. Contacted Podback and Costa, both said the scheme was running and the store should be taking the bags. Filled another bag, took it in a month later. Again they refused to take it saying they had no way of recycling it and had already dumped 50 full bags brought to them. Showed them the emails from Costa HQ, it made no difference. In the end she took the bag but said she'd just be throwing it away! The next nearest drop off is a 30 min drive away. This is useless! Emailed Costa and Podback again, no reply.
