Which bin for plastic bottles?
Usual answer in the UK
Recycling Mixed recycling bin
Drinks, shampoo, bleach and cleaning bottles all go in mixed recycling.

Does every council do this?
Most councils follow the answer above, but bins and sorting rules are set locally, and a few councils still do things differently. If your bin has a sticker, or your council sent a leaflet, follow that. Enter your postcode to go straight to your council's guidance.
