There have been changes in our recycling process of blister packs. Your blue top recycling bin can now only accept blister packs that are made of foil on both sides. Always check before you throw that there are no tablets left in the packaging.
Many blister packs are plastic (of various colours) on one side and foil on the other. Going forward, we ask that you put this type of blister pack into either your black top rubbish bin or, preferably, take them to any Boots store and drop them off into their green recycling bin. Ask in store if you cannot find their bin.
Are you aware of the Boots Recycling scheme?
The Recycle at Boots initiative allows customers to recycle hard to recycle health and beauty empties from any brand and empty blister packs, as long as they have a Boots Advantage Card.
To get rewarded for it, customers need to: 1) register and opt in by downloading the Recycle at Boots App; 2) log empty items in the app and wait for up to 24 hours until they are validated; 3) bring their empty packs into a participating Boots store and scan the QR code on the deposit box.
