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.
