Do You Recycle Crisps Packets?
Ask a Question
On the packets it says don’t recycle at home but at recycling points
So I’ve been putting them together with plastic bags like fruit and bread bags and taking them to Sainbsury’s recycling bin
Does anyone else do this?
I used to just throw them away but since seeing the label I take to them recycle
Perhaps to also help with crisps packets becoming litter they could introduce the old system of 'money back' as they used to do on pop bottles years ago. 2p to 5p per packet returned for recycling?
kitty88uk it wasn't shop but you used to be able. To send them to a company to be recycled and they stopped it
I try not to eat crisps .Must be a recycling nightmare if you have a house full of teenagers!
kitty88uk I'm a sugar fiend lol but I have been known to attack wotsits and cheetos.
Well I never realised that, I always pop my crisp packets in the recycling bin, but now I know not to.
I never realised that I normally just bin mine didn't know you could put them in the recycling bins my family eat a lot of crisps never seen a recycling bin in supermarkets for them I mostly shop at morrisons will need to look out
A lot of packages say 'Recycle with carrier bags at the supermarket'
I gather them together and recycle them in store, I need to remember to mark it as a recycle point on the Bower app though, as you get paid to recycle, even at your home bins with the relevant packaging!
