There are now a number of hard to recycle plastic waste items that can be recycled through Terracycle. The Terracycle scheme receives pre-sorted waste from specific products and puts in place a process to recycle this waste, often by reforming the plastic into a long term product like garden furniture. Visit the Terracycle website to learn more.

​

Terracyle ‘waste’ is collected by charities, who receive rewards based on the volume of waste sent. Local schools who have registered to collect particular Terracycle waste streams are Icknield Infant School, Wilbury Junior School, Stonehill School and Lordship Farm School.

​

WISPA (Wilbury and Icknield School PTA) support the Terracycle initiative by managing a local collection point in Morrisons (located in the ‘blue alcove’ to the left inside the Broadway entrance) and passing the waste collected to the appropriate local charity for checking and onwards sending to Terracycle.

​

Some Terracycle schemes are sponsored by a company and will only accept their branded items, whilst other collection schemes are for a particular class of item and have no brand limitations. It is essential that the waste sent to Terracycle is not contaminated and is properly sorted.

Top Tips:

• All recycling must be empty of any contents.

• All crisp, Nuts, Popcorn, Pretzels Packets MUST be flat. Minimum shipping weights go up (8kg for crisps!) and max box sizes are fixed at 60*60*50cm so recycling has to be as compact as possible.

• All recycling MUST be sorted into the categories listed below and not delivered mixed. Some of the recycling may seem similar but each scheme is funded by the company that produces that waste and must be shipped separately from other recycling.

• If it's not on the list below leave it out!

If you have any boxes measuring 60*60*50cm the we would love to accept them!
