Recycle your Christmas cards at Sainsbury's stores

2:00pm Thursday 3rd January 2013 in News

SAINSBURY’S is tackling festive waste with Christmas card recycling in its local superstores.

Each of the stores in Boscombe, Castlepoint, Ferndown, Poole, Ringwood, Talbot Heath and Wareham will have a card recycling bin until January 15.

Sainsbury’s will make a donation to the Forest Stewardship Council based on the volume of cards collected.

Wareham store manager Damian Fancy said: “We know that our customers care about the environment and reducing their impact of landfill so we’re providing really simple and hassle-free ways for them to live more sustainably and recycle their Christmas waste once the holidays are over.”

The stores also offer recycling for batteries, glass and plastic.

How does this differ to the recycling bin at home that we now all have?

(apart from Sainsbury's donation)

I pay Bournemouth Council to recycle my old Christmas cards. Not going to spend time going to a supermarket when I can walk a few paces to my bin. Sorry.

Exactly. It's just a pointless bit of green advertising.
.
What they should be doing is working with the recycling firms to buy it for recycled packaging.
.
How much card and plastic comes with a weekly shop at Sainsburys?
