Tesco Recycling Machines?

penrhyn

My local Tesco Extra has stopped dishing out plastic bags at the checkout, I assume this is being rolled out across the country. You still get your green points for bag reuse.

Tesco took the points facility away because of abuse by customers, the machines are still available to use, they will NOT be taking these away and they don't make a profit.


kind regards,

Ours has taken them off display but they will give them to you if you ask.

i heard that asda are goin to be charging per bag 5p, well i wasnt charged yesterday, my iceland gives you the bags as you shop, has something to do with netto next door and they charge for the bags, so stops people from helping themselves

I never liked the Tesco recycling machines. One of the good reasons to recycle is to save energy, so I find it counterproductive that these new recycling bins consume electric when they don't need to.

Something most people dont know is that some of the recycling machines were/where provided and owned by local authorities Tesco gave club points (and space) to encourage the concept of recycling

Tesco only installed these machines in a very few locations - none anywhere near me :rolleyes: - so the chance to earn extra points is very selective. The local stores all have ordinary can banks etc.

I wasn't even aware Tescos had recycling machines!

It would be handy to have somewhere to recycle plastics and cans, as our council only recycle paper/thin card and glass.

Better move to Erewash we recycle all sorts here, even ex talk show hosts, Kilroy got recycled with a soaking in Asda's carpark.
