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 19th or Sunday 20th (collection point is outside, clearly signed). These are three separate collections so please don’t mix different types of packets!
IMPORTANT – please sort and pack your donations and tie up your bag by the end of the day on THURSDAY ready to deliver to The Geographer on Saturday or Sunday. We will be sorting them on Monday, so this allows 72 hours after you have handled the packets (for Covid reasons – in case we need to open bags).
Baby food pouches – empty with lid on, bagged
Pet food pouches – clean and bagged
Crisps:
1. Please flatten out your crisp packets (no folds or knots) and put them into a thin plastic bag. The picture shows a perfect example! If possible please use a bin liner type bag – rather than a carrier bag that is thicker plastic (and will take up more room in the box we post them off in). Please make sure your bag is secured so that packets don’t fall out, but not so tightly that we cant open it if we need to.
2. 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!
3. 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. We won’t be able to sort through every bag to check. Thanks for your support and look forward to receiving your donations.
