As usual, nothing in East Sussex!!! A 60 mile round trip defeats the object really doesn't it?!

Ive found out that you can recycle yogurt pots and the container plus lid you get the philly cheese in, it also accepted the following:
the plastic wrapper you get spaghetti in frm lidl
the plastic container you get salsa dip in
i think i tried the container you get the chilled pasta sauce in

items it wont accept
it wont take margarine cartons(uitterly butterly) though, if anyone else has tried any other items which have been accepted by the machine then post

Would the one at Hatfield be any closer for you?

probably, yes, but we don't have a car!


I did get an email from tesco saying that they are going to put them in all stores. We'd still have to lug stuff to the one nearer Dunstable as I can't see them fitting one in the Arndale Centre! :rotfl:
