The Big Plastic Count Returns in March 2026

Join the UK’s biggest people-powered investigation into plastic waste.

Did you know that The Big Plastic Count is back in March? We’re proud to be supporting the UK’s biggest people-powered investigation into household plastic waste.

From 9-15 March, thousands of people from households, communities, businesses and schools across the UK will take part in The Big Plastic Count. By counting every piece of plastic packaging we throw away, together we’ll uncover the true scale of the UK’s plastics crisis and use this evidence to keep pushing the government to take urgent action to tackle the plastics crisis. 

Since the last campaign, the UK has elected a new government, one that says it’s serious about tackling plastic waste. This is our chance to put their promise to the test.

This is more than simply counting our plastic. We’re helping build a people-powered movement for a fair future.

Are you ready to join the movement? Sign up to take part in The Big Plastic Count

  • Loving the mini draw postcode sexy

  • We have a sexy £100 mini draw up for grabs tonight. 👇🏻

    Snap Hatterles.

  • SEXY Mini Draw postcode tonight :)

    • And it's binary, 2^8.

  • Am I the only one who sees the phrase, "The Big Plastic Count" and can't shake off the image of a large inflatable Dracula? 🧛‍♂️

    • One leetel bottle - ha ha ha!

      Two leetel bottles - ha ha ha!

      Continue as required. (It's The Count from Sesame Street)

  • Is anyone else finding the banner adverts at the bottom really annoying. I go to select the next draw and at that precise moment it pops up and takes me away from the site. When I try to get back I have to go through my email and it just hangs. I’m going to give up if it continues

    • If this happens just tap the bars at top right of the screen and gives you each game there

    • If it doesn't have an x and you know how to take a screenshot, please take one and share it with us. Then we can pass the report to the company who helps us to fill the ads.

    • That’s the one that keeps getting me. I shall try turning my phone to see if that helps but it just seems to screw up my phone if I click it. I can’t see an x anywhere. Thanks Tcb for your help though

    • Agreed, sometimes, no matter how careful you think you are pressing the 'X' it pops up to annoy. The Kangaroo one is my current bugbear.

    • We only make the ads about Win A Dinner & Snip, our own sites. The rest are just ad spaces which we rent out to Google ads.

      They all have an x in the corner and only take a second to close. They will fill the page if you touch them outside of the x. Just make sure that you don’t scroll too quickly and accidentally hit it, then you will be able to react to the ad when it comes up by closing it, instead of accidentally swiping on it. Turning your device to landscape should expand the ad and make clicking the x easier.

      Some of these bottom banner ads have a bit of movement or animation where they bring themselves to the person’s attention by filling half of the screen and then shrinking back down. But that is separate to a full on pop up.

      The ad stays at the bottom of a hand held device, not static on a section of our site. You can continue to scroll and see what was under the ad. The page moves separately to the ad.

      Our draw boxes have red buttons in them which enable you to navigate between the pages. The Main Draw box has a red button which says “Check survey draw”. The Survey Draw’s button then says “Check video draw” etc. So there are other ways to move around the site.

      There should not be full pop up ads on our site. If it is not one which shrinks to a banner or bar size, or if it doesn’t have an x to close it, please take a screenshot and email us – admin@pickmypostcode.com

      https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/113-what-to-do-if-you-see-a-dodgy-or-inappropriate-advert

    • Those ads have an X top right which you click on to get rid of. To go to the next draw, just use the red tab below the postcode to select them. No need to go to the foot of the page to do so.

  • The same winning post code

    We'd and Thurs.Is tat for real

    • If you are looking at Wednesday afternoon & Thursday morning Main, Video, Survey, & Bonus draws will be the same as they run from midday to midday (except the Stackpot).

    • The Winners Results page, which is linked at the bottom of every page, shows that this is not the case:

      https://pickmypostcode.com/past-winners/

    • Are you using the reminder email to check the draws? They only bring you to the current draw whether you use today's, last week's or last year's.

    • Maz, Have you tried refreshing the page !! ..

  • Children are like pancakes,The first one you make usually turns out a bit weird.

    • Ditto what @help me! said

    • Thanks Jim. I'm an only child! 🤪

    • And that's a chef talking! What hope for the rest of us?

    • :-) :-)

  • Thinking of exercising to get in shape. Think I'll start with lunges.

    It would be a big step forward 🤪🤪

    • Both- :-) :-) :-)

    • I sacked my masseuse today, they just rubbed me up the wrong way...

  • Since I got the upgrade I notice on the survey draw the page doesn’t automatically scroll back up to the top of the page to see the postcode as it used to do on the old site. Maybe just me?

    • I this happens to me too. It’s irritating but a first world problem.

    • Thanks Catkin, I've added that to the bullet point.

    • Hi Em, thanks, I’m using an iPhone 11 on Safari.

    • I have just tested this myself. I scrolled down so that the postcode oval was not on my screen, answered a survey and when I had finished & submitted, it scrolled me back up and I saw the winning postcode. So it's not an across the board thing.

      Could you please let me know your device make & model and which browser that you use? I've put this point on the Snag list, but it could be a compatibility issue with either a particular device or browser, so I need to flesh it out with some details please. Thank you.

    • @ANN as Em said further down, there are several little things which Tech are working through, so it's going to take some time.

    • No, not just you. I mentioned this ages ago and they seemed to sort it, but since the upgrade it's started again and I mentioned it again on here, maybe a week or so back. Strange.

  • Just To Say A Big Special Thank You + My Appreciate To Every1 For The Lovely Birthday Wishes. Had A Lovely Meal Out With Brandy + The Family It's Fab. Tc, With All Our Love Si + Brandy, Ps Not Being Very Well For A While,Back Now Ty xx

    • Thanks for letting us know you are getting over it.

    • Welcome back Si. I hope you’re feeling better. 🤞

    • Belated Happy Birthday wishes. Hope there was plenty of cake and doggie treats for Brandy.

  • Just incase it helps anyone… ive noticed my video draw still does not work, until i go back to it about half hr later and the postcode shows . I think a different video plays then it comes up

    • I find the ads preceding a video last for much longer than the second countdown timer, then often the ad gets stuck at the end and doesn’t move on to play the video, though it will normally reveal the postcode

    • Hav you tried the suggestions in this from the FAQ?

      https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/80-im-having-issues-with-the-video-draw-how-can-i-fix-it

      The "Video issues?" link underneath the draw has been updated so that clicking/tapping on it will reveal the postcode. (There will be a roughly 10 second wait after it has been clicked/tapped.) There is also an error message which includes a 'show postcode' button.

      The video draw page is the best place to check for responses.

  • Who's noticed there's a Flash Draw winner today?

    • Well done, Penny. 👏👏👏

    • You're welcome Penny.

      Anonymous, there are several little things which Tech are working through, so it's going to take some time.

    • I realise it has now reset because it's the next day, but my Flash Draw banner still says "no flash draw winners" instead of "no flash draw winners today" like it used to. So it sounds like there's never been one. I thought this was going to be fixed?

    • 😊 Congrats Penny. …The Penny dropped? ……..

    • Congratulations on your win Penny!🎉

    • Well done Penny. It does help to scroll down to the bottom of the pages. When I won one, I had to look twice.😊

    • Congratulations Penny 🥳

    • It was me! It’s absolutely made my day, I couldn’t believe it 😁

      Thank you PMP!

    • I noticed because the winner emailed us to inform us that they use a different email address for PayPal, so I have already paid them! I love it when I can pay out the same day and really make someone's day!

    • Yay! Somebody scrolled. 😆

  • If you don't pay your exorcist do you get repossessed??🤪🤪

    • An Irish friend went to a fortuneteller✋🔮🤚👀 ..., last time the future forecasted so bleak she didn't pay & it came true.🙄 Go figure.

    • I don't have an exorcist and I won't be paying anybody.

  • Well Having A Busy Day For Me On My 60 Birthday Today. Still Trying Hard To My Postcode,But No Joy Today + I Will Keep Doing My Pick My Postcode.

  • What do you get when you cross a vampire and a snowman?.. Frost bite!...

    • Sensitive teeth must be hell for a vampire in that situation.

  • Hi Admin

    I just had a similar issue to ANN. I posted on this page at 6.10pm about a quick mini draw claim. The post showed as added. I have just come back at 9.15pm after checking the stackpot and the post is not showing. Checked in my account and the post is showing in there. iPad and Safari.

    • Oops sorry did not realise I had changed page! Sorry to have bothered you!

    • Hi Mrs. M, your post about the mini draw is still showing on the survey draw page, and the timestamp for your survey draw visit is the closest match to when you posted.

      Is it possible that you changed page before noticing the mini draw was claimed?

    • Mrs. M, your post is on the survey draw page.

  • Beth, have you been affected by the storm? Just been watching the local news which concentrated on the New Forest. Hope you,Indi, pups and neighbours are alright.

    • Damned liner is swelling up in the bottom of the pond because the water has got in behind it. It goes down when the grounds dries outa bit, but at the moment it looks like a baby whale is taking up half the space at one end. I shall be ordering the new pond filter next week, then have to start saving for the liner to be replaced. I was told ‘roughly £6,000-£10,000’ by one pond specialist, because it means taking off all the Portland stone from round the sides, including the stream and top pond, by the waterfall, then rehousing the fish temporarily, draining and emptying it, new sand base all through, then liner (or liner, then sand - not sure which) then a new liner (approx £2k) then reinstate everything. Oh joy.

    • Look on the bright side, you won't have to fill the pond.

    • Glad to hear that you're not impacted, Beth. I hope that you still won't be when you go out shopping etc.

    • Yes, we’re all fine, thanks. We’re on high ground, so although Beaulieu, Brockenhurst, Lymington etc are all flooded, we just have soggy heathland and woods - it’s not too bad at all, although Indi put the brakes on when I told her we were going for a walk this morning. ‘I think not’ she said firmly and point blank refused to go out in the rain, even with her coat on (I only put it on for my sake, so there’s less wet dog to dry, not because she needs it.).

  • A quickly claimed Mini Draw tonight. 👍

    • I thought that too, was just about to congrat you CS Hahaha 🤣

    • And to you, Ghost.

    • It certainly was fast. I thought you’d written “I quickly claimed” so was writing congrats etc and then realised my mistake. Good luck though from The Ghost.

  • Spam email received today that made me laugh. Role: Super Administrator - really? They definitely need one. You've been invited by ... @dungx.net ? Yep, that's about the right email address for them.

    • Male Moo poo

    • Moo-poo?

    • Karl Pilkington said his superhero ID would be "BS-man."

      Whenever BS is spoken, BS-man would instantly fly to the scene, point at the perpetrator and shout "BS!"

      (Of course in the original form, he didn't shout BS, he shouted bovine male droppings. Or something with the same meaning.)

    • Yes you should be Em, if anyone deserves the title of Super Administrator it's you!

    • Is that like a superpower because I should be part of that group of super heroes!

  • I phoned the police to tell them seven sheep were on the road, they said, could you round them up. I said ok, make it ten.

    • 😁

    • Thank you Tudiefair. ;-)

    • Don’t moan about Maddadof again😜

    • Beth, brilliant.

    • 🤪 Oh dear!

    • 🤣🤣

    • 😂

    • 👍👏

    • We seem to be getting a spate of good jokes at the moment.

      My mate thinks he's a chocolate orange. I'm thinking of having him sectioned. Poor Terry.

  • Had my bike nicked yesterday but the police found it and brought it back.

    Told me they're charging the thief with peddling stolen goods 🤪

    • 😊

    • Both good :-) :-)

    • What do you call an idiot on a bike?

      A dope peddler.

    • 😆 very good!

  • Well done Em / Marie. I'd just replied to that delightful post by Scorpihun saying goodbye. If not banned for that language, I knew the post would be deleted (+they were warned about bad language yesterday on the Survey Draw comments) 😉

    • CS, I hope so because it was disgusting, prompted an email to admin and they were certainly on the ball. Removed within six minutes of posting.

    • Likely banned from commenting.

    • @ JennieS - it was me saying goodbye to Scorpihun after reading the post about being screened out of multiple surveys.

      They used just the initial letter in their post on Survey Draw but, used the full word + another vulgar term too on this page 🫣

    • Scorpihun was one of the accounts posting stupid stuff at weekends, wasn't it? Needs banning from forum.

    • I didn't see the post before it was deleted but if he/she was saying goodbye they haven't gone as the comment on the Survey Draw page is still there with no blue avatar of death. I presume Em or Marie deleted the post and sent a warning email. Hopefully that will work...

  • Thank you for the quick payment of my stackpot win yesterday (but trying to pay into a linked bank account is a pain, you have to print of a form and mail it to the bank!!!!!, so will be leaving it paypal for the time being.

    • Hi Jen. These PayPal help articles might be useful for you:

      https://www.paypal.com/uk/cshelp/article/how-do-i-link-a-bank-account-to-my-paypal-account-help183

      https://www.paypal.com/uk/cshelp/article/how-do-i-withdraw-money-from-my-paypal-account-help394

    • Jen2002, I use paypal all the time - it is perfectly safe to link your bank account if you have secure passwords. You just need to log into your paypal account and choose the option to withdraw money from your account, it will come up with a message, just pick instantly (free) and it will go into your bank account the same day. Alternatively, buy something from a retailer that accepts paypal (loads do now) and pick the paypal option to pay with the credit on your account.

  • Is there a blog by Chris on here this morning? As my tablet loaded, something briefly flashed up but is not showing on here now either in landscape or portrait. Not showing on my phone either.

    • I have done.

    • Perhaps you would like to contact them to make that suggestion. If you have time. It sounds like a very sensible suggestion to me, but I do not work for them.

    • They should ask the manufacturers or stores for an actual count produced, instead of participating households for an estimate of what we think we throw away..

    • Yes, got that thanks.

    • There is now a blog about the Big Plastic Count returning.

    • Thanks Em, will let you know if it happens again.

    • The blog at the top of our blog page is this one from earlier this month, so not currently being featured on this main page:

      https://pickmypostcode.com/blog/chris-on-the-big-screen/

      If something flashes again, please let us know. It could be a bug I need to inform Tech about.

  • Hi everyone, I joined in 2014, my postcode came up in 2016 but missed it. It came up again last Friday. I was on holiday BUT…. this time I spotted it, couldn’t I believe it, stared at it for a few seconds wondering why it was in big letters. So thank you PMP for £635.45. We were half way through a celebration meal when the money pinged into my account. Keep looking folks, it could be you today.

    • What a lovely surprise win. 🥳🥳🥳

    • Well done, what a great sum of money 😁👍

    • Congratulations on your win, enjoy the rest of your Holiday.

    • Congratz, that will be a nice sandwich.
