Tesco automated recycling centres

Fishernab

Hey all

As my first post I am looking for advice on where I count locate the nearest tesco automated recycling centre to Leeds. I have bags and bags of aluminium cans and thought this would be an effective way to dispose of them.

Any help would be highly welcome

Kind regards

Does the tesco store locator not give a clue where these are ? Is it worth recycling these at tesco ?

Not exactly handy for Leeds, but the Chesterfield store has an automated recycling centre. Two stores in Mansfield but neither have such a machine.

Using the Tesco store locator the Chesterfield store includes a symbol for 'recycling' but the Mansfield ones don't - even though I'm quite sure they do have conventional recycling skips in the car park. So it looks as though they may have amended their website to show 'recycling' only for stores with the automated machines.

However, their advanced search doesn't include an option to search for stores with 'recycling' facilities.

If you've got bags and bags of aluminium cans (not steel ones), then I would have thought the most profitable place to recycle them would be your local scrap merchant.

It's got to be better than just giving them to someone else for nothing.

Tesco pay clubcard points, 1 per 2 cans.

If I scrap them I'd have to declare it as part of the my income I believe. Due to the fact I would then have to draw the money out and hand it to the owner. Easier just to technically give themawayfor no cash hence I aren't earning from it.

What on Earth are you talking about?
If you own something then sell it for the same or less than you paid for it, there is no profit to be assessed as income! Even if you did gain, that profit would probably be negated when set against the losses you have made selling any private property in the same tax year.

OP is perhaps worried by new regulations about payments for scrap metal having to be made into a bank account (I'm not even sure if that's actually started or still just a proposal).

Income tax is of course payable on monies from one's employer and wouldn't normally be deducted from other payments arriving in your account.

Or perhaps Fishernab is trying to dispose (responsibly) of 'stuff' from a place of work (cafe, canteen, pub etc) and therefore doesn't want to earn money, for which he/she may not be entitled to. Or maybe I should say 'feels they are not entitled to'.

Get em recycled, any which way you can.

Does anybody know if there is a clubcard recycling machine anywhere in Norfolk/Suffolk?
