Crisp packet recycling programme

November 1, 2019

We are rolling out the crisp packet recycling programme via TerraCycle. TerraCycle are an innovative recycling company that have become a global leader in recycling typically hard-to-recycle waste.

We need your help

We are asking colleagues to collect empty crisp packets at work instead of throwing them into the general waste bins. You can collect in any receptacle (ideally re-use an empty cardboard box) then send to the estates department at City or Sandwell Hospital labelled ‘crisp packets for recycling’.

Why are we recycling our empty crisp packets?

• Terracycle will collect the empty crisp packets free of charge and recycle them. The Trust receives points (the more crisp packets we send, the more points we receive) and these can be redeemed into financial donations to charity
• It reduces the amount of general waste we generate (and the associated costs)
• It’s the right thing to do environmentally
