Is there anywhere that's still taking old christmas/birthday cards for recycling? The card bin seems to have disappeared from my local Asda?

Cheers

    Tesco & Sainsburys are still offering a re-cycle service. Think Asda has stopped now.

    I am sure M&S had one in the doorway when I was in there today.
    At a push if you have small children you could always get them to work next year recycling them into "gift tags"
    It was always fun when I did that with my children when they were younger.

    Can't you just put them with your normal cardboard recycling?

    M&S still have them which raises money for the Woodland Trust but they can also go in the normal paper recycling.

    I was in in M&S this weekend and they still had their boxes out.

    This thread has just reminded me about the big pile of cards I've got waiting to take to somewhere...

    The Asda bin was back today! Got rid of all my Christmas cards AND birthday cards from a couple of weeks back.

    Thanks for all your replies :)
