Tetra Pak Recycling

A month or so ago we changed our kitchen bin to one with two compartments. It has a small section that can be used to collect stuff for the composter and a larger section for all the other stuff we usually throw away. One thing about this bin is that it's not particularly large, this has got me thinking even more about what I do and don't recycle.

One of the major bulky things I regularly use is Tetra Pak based drinks containers for things like fresh apple juice etc. A while ago I looked on Tetra Paks website and they offered an address where you could send all of your Tetra Pak packaging to be recycled. I thought it might be worth while doing so I started collecting all the containers ready to send them off.

Recently I decided to check the Tetra Pak recycling web site again for more details about where to send the containers. Well it turns out that Tesco is joining forces with Tetra Pak to roll out recycling facilities to their stores around the UK. They will be adding two new recycling points every week until September, which means you'll soon be able to take your Tetra Pak based containers to your local Tesco to get them recycled.

As Tesco say "Every little helps".
