Brush-up on recycling: give your toothpaste tubes a second life!

You can now recycle your empty toothpaste tubes from the comfort of your home.

By simply placing them in your bright blue recycling bag, you can help reduce plastic waste from being thrown in the bin.

To help with the recycling process, please make sure to squeeze as much out of them as possible, that way we’re just left with the plastic.

Check that your toothpaste tubes are made from recyclable materials. Most toothpaste tubes are, but it’s always good to double-check – look for the ‘Recycle’ symbol.
