Terracycle collection for crisp packets, baby food and cat food pouches
There is another Terracycle collection this weekend at The Geographer for recycling your empty crisp packets, pet food pouches and baby food pouches. Drop off your donation anytime on Saturday 24th or Sunday 25th April (collection point is outside, clearly signed). These are three separate collections so please don’t mix different types of packets!
Baby food pouches
– empty with lid on, bagged
Pet food pouches
– clean and bagged
Crisps
- Please flatten out your crisp packets (no folds or knots) and put them into a thin plastic bag. The picture shows a perfect example! Please make sure your bag is secured so that packets don’t fall out, but not so tightly that we can’t open it if we need to.
- Please try to use only one bag however many packets you have – you can get a very large number of packets into one bag if you squash them down. Remember that we have to get 3kg of packets into 1 box measuring 60x60x30cm!
- What can you donate:
All crisp packets. please make sure they are empty (!!!)
VERY IMPORTANT – no biscuit wrappers of any sort, no twiglets, mini cheddars, meat based snacks, nuts or popcorn bags.
These are Terracycle rules and contamination can lead to the entire box being rejected and they won’t be able to sort through every bag to check.
Thanks for your support and look forward to receiving your donations.
