Free way to recycle the 'unrecyclable'

  • After visiting their website I was amazed at the prices they wanted for their zero waste recycling boxes.

    For example crisps bags, snack packaging and sweet wrappers.
    Small box £124.72 Medium box £164.84 Large box £230.26

    Even though these can be taken to or collected by UPS, I inquired whether one gets a replacement box but was told that one had to purchased another box.

    I also found that some of the drop off places were not correct, one of the ones mentioned that is supposed to collect bread bags close to my location, didn't even know that they were listed, plus the fact that they don't collect them anyway!

    Another place that collects crisp packets, isn't mentioned (yet), but some sweet and biscuit wrappers that are made from the same material as crisp packets, have to be collected separately, why is this?

    I saw someone saying, "I fill my boxes, print the prepaid label, it is then collected from my house and it costs me nothing." but Terracycle do no seem to let us know (on their immediate website) that this can be done, it seems to point toward the boxes I mentioned earlier, which I would think would put people off, especially those that do not have that sort of money to start with!
    It doesn't seem to mention that one can use their own boxes and get prepaid labels etc., so some dedication to inquire about this is needed, so doesn't seem to be encouraging people to actually join.
