Get your milk delivered

Milk in glass bottle on breakfast table

Milk delivery is a tradition that is making a comeback as people are looking to reduce their own footprint, promote a sense of community and shop locally. Through modern "milkman" services, people can get their dairy (and other products) delivered regularly to their doorstep, and used containers are collected and refilled for the next delivery.

About 80% of liquid milk sold by retailers is in the UK is in plastic containers.
