Isle of Man Hospice is telling its customers to keep donating new and used plastic bags, providing they are clean.
The situation has been clarified after a caller to Manx Radio said she had been told the charity's six 'Share the Care' shops were no longer taking them.
Hospice is apologising to its customers for any confusion, and and says it really appreciates all the bags it receives.
However, it is stressing they must be clean.
