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

Note: Pick My Postcode, formerly Free Postcode Lottery, is and always will be free.

  • My mate is a drummer and his wife just had twin girls .What did you call them? I asked. The cutest names ever he said

    Anna1 Anna2.

  • I know some members here have similar concerns to mine, so may be interested in this. Having never used Temu and with no intention of ever using ( mainly due to ethical concerns about the company, fake goods and info from the Which? Reports on the huge range and amount of dangerous goods), I wondered why their ads are everywhere. My search came up with this:

    “It is completely understandable to feel overwhelmed by the aggressive, inescapable advertising from Temu.

    You are seeing them everywhere because they are engaged in one of the most aggressive digital marketing campaigns in history, spending billions on ads to rapidly acquire new users.

    Here is why you are seeing them and why it’s hard to stop.

    Why You See Them Everywhere:

    Massive Ad Budget: Temu (owned by PDD Holdings) spends roughly $2–$3 billion+ annually on advertising, largely with Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and Google, making them one of the top digital advertisers.

    Retargeting Pixels: Even if you have never visited Temu, their ads target users based on "lookalike" audiences—if you have ever looked at similar cheap goods, searched for discounts, or visited similar sites, you are tagged.

    Aggressive Marketing Strategy: Their goal is brand awareness through "flooding" the internet, regardless of whether it annoys, irritates and often enrages internet users.”

    Having posted this, today every one of my ad slots is filled with 3 different Fake Mensa or fake My IQ website ads. 😆

    • Lol 63. Thanks for the shopping list, saves me having to search for all those items. For those who still think Temu is a sales company they're not, in the same way that eBay and Amazon aren't. They're simply a website that allows thousands of companies from all over the world, including UK, to advertise their products for sale, then Temu takes the money and ships the products for them. I've actually bought goods from a store in Bradford shipped via Temu. It's easy to say you don't buy from Temu or China but it's very difficult to know where goods actually come from these days, as seen from me buying from Temu but actually coming from Bradford in Yorkshire. I will admit the Bradford seller probably bought from China but no evidence to support that.

    • I have also got the woman's legs, the Laura croft outfit and the wardrobe. A new one appears to be a thermal hoodie.

    • My current sidebar ad here from Tumu consists of 8 pictures.

      I say ad, it's actually 2 identical ads, one in each sidebar, backing up the "flooding" theory.

      Pic 1 is a long pair of female legs. The product is either the tights or the high heeled shoes.

      Pic 2 is either selling denim shorts, a wedding dress with no front below the waist, or a prostitute.

      Pic 3 Is bizarre, I think it could be Lara Croft's military body armour.

      Pic 4 is some sort of wardrobe.

      Pic 5 is a leatherette phone case and a matching wallet, which I have to confess look quite good.

      Pic 6 is a grey cat which appears to have a weapon strapped to its back.

      Pic 7 shows a small child wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan "Dad knows a lot but Grandpa..." I can't see the rest, but presumably it continues "gets paid one Yen for every 20 of these T-shirts he produces"

      Pic 8 shows some sort of rubber strap. I can't tell from the scaling if it's a belt or a watch strap, but apparently they come in packs of 400.

      Anyone got the same images?

    • I have read very positive comments re Temu on here from some members but my concern is are the people who make the goods earning a fair wage.

      I doubt they are so I chose not to buy things but I expect a lot of people do or they would not keep advertising.

    • Interesting, thanks. I also avoid Amazon as much as possible too. I realise component parts and many items sold in the UK are from China but I always try and buy from a UK company and have never bought from TEMU.

    • I have reported an inappropriate ad which was showing on here. It had no x to delete, and was only headed ' Sponsored content' Because PMP needs to know where it leads you I clicked on it. Straight to Temu and before I had a chance to get out, up popped "Logging you in" Aggressive marketing? Definitely. The act of automatically logging me in shows their contempt for privacy and security.

  • Yet again screened out of the bonus draw without answering any questions but still got a 5p bonus

  • Hi

    • 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

    • Hi and welcome. Do take some time to read the FAQs https://help.pickmypostcode.com/ and Rules https://pickmypostcode.com/rules/ which are also linked at the bottom of each page. If ever you need help you can email admin@pickmypostcode.com

  • I know Admin are busy so does anyone know where the information about sending in a video has gone to? I've sent a Contact Message but in case it takes a week, thought someone on here might know. I know someone (and a group as well) who may be interested in this and one of them has a new video out soon. TYIA!

    • Thank you SO much @Rosy 2 Cakes and @LittleOwl I obviously didn't scroll far enough

    • the4ts, you can find the article in the blog section, relevant bit pasted below: If you’d like your music featured…

      If you are interested, please get in touch with us over at admin@pickmypostcode.com.

      In order for us to share a video, we will need written permission from the owner to share the footage (via email is fine.) So unfortunately we can’t show music from any famous artists (unless you have them on speed dial!) We also require an MP4 video file version, a short bio about them and some social media links.

      As soon as we have this, we will add the video to our waiting list. It will be live on our website as soon as possible!

  • Four great confusions still unresolved.

    1. At a movie theatre, which arm rest is yours?

    2. If people evolve from monkeys, why are monkeys still around?

    3. Why is there a 'D' in fridge, but not in refrigerator?

    4. Who knew what time it was when the first clock was made?

    • In answer to the original monkey question, one might just as well ask why there are still lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, lynxes, pumas, jaguars and domestic cats.

    • To follow up Beth8It's question there were of course the pterosaurs, which although not dinosaurs, were able to fly or possibly glide. Nobody knows if these creatures may have had feathers, which has been discussed as a distinct possibility for the dinosaurs.

      Then of course we have Archaeopteryx, which itself didn't have a clue what it was.

    • Question: If birds have hollow bones, so they are light enough to fly, where is their bone-marrow? What did they do in the period between having scales as dinosaurs, and having feathers, as birds? How come they didn't all get caught on the ground?

    • Plus, monkeys are not the same as apes. 😊

    • We didn’t evolve from monkeys. We both evolved from a common ancestor

    • Darwinism 🤔 😁

      (Writing for Redz)

    • Excellent answers Beth8it!. 😆😆

    • 1. Not sure - look at the end of the row. Then it’s down to whoever has the boniest elbows.

      2. To remind us not to get too big for our boots - just in case evolution goes backwards and we need to keep in contact with the ancestors.

      3. To keep foreigners on their toes.

      4. They asked Alexa, of course.

  • My nickname on today's bonus leader board is showing as 'Anonymous'. I've logged out & back in but it remains the same. How can I recover this?

    • Good suggestion but it didn't work for me. ☹️

    • Mine also shows up as Anonymous, but if you click on 'Show Full Leaderboard' it brings up a new page and reverts back to your real nickname.

    • Several discussions around the site. There's nothing you can do, Em is aware and the details will be forwarded to tech on Monday. It won't have any detrimental effect.

  • The page didn’t load on Thursday. ‘Page Address Not Recognised’. My WiFi is working fine; all other sites opened just fine. Is there a problem at your end?

    • I have tried several other browser sites, without success. It appears that PMP is no longer accessible via a lap-top!

    • I suddenly started getting a similar problem at this time. My browser said the server was unavailable or something. When I tried a different browser it turned out that it was getting blocked as “unsuitable content” of some sort, so I now can only access the site on mobile data and having had to take off all restrictions on content. I don’t know if it was some change with the new website or a change in my ISPs classification.

    • Try another browser/device if it happens again. Clear your cache and cookies. That is likely to solve the problem. No problems this end.

  • 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? 🧛‍♂️

    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AoxCkySv34

    • Sorry, I never watched Sesame Street, so I count.

      (can't)

    • 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.

  • 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.
