New carton recycling banks are now available


I’m really pleased to be able to announce that you can now recycle tetrapak’s – those paper and plastic cartons that fruit juices often come in at 5 recycling centres in the borough.

I have been trying to find a way to recycle this kind of packaging for more than three years. Until now, the cost of recycling these packs has been very high because of the difficulty of separating out the different materials that make up the packaging but thanks to a partnership with tetrapak, we now have a trial recycling scheme running.

You can recycle tetrapak’s at:

  • Carshalton High Street car park
  • Wallington Public Hall car park
  • Kingsway Road car park, Cheam
  • Stone Place / Windsor Road car park, Worcester Park, and the
  • Re-use and Recycling Centre, Kimpton Park Way
