We use disposable PPE of masks to P2 level and lab coats which we use in conjunction with LEV and would like to reduce waste bills. Does anyone know of recycling centres that will take such items? Thanks in advance

Have you tried contacting your local authority waste services - certainly in my local area the authority are keen to promote recycling and publish maps of where the different recyclables can be sent.

I have but they are advising that the items would just go into general waste :( I have been looking at breaking them down and then recycling which seems to be a prefered option but more work!
