Tetra Paks - can they all be recycled?

[AuntFlo]

I have just had a look at http://www.tetrapakrecycling.co.uk/locator.asp and I can recycled my tetra paks pretty close.

Does anyone know if it is just the waxy ones or the ones with the tin foil inside that can be recycled? I can't find out on the site, and do they have to have the tetra pak brand name on them so you know they are the right ones?

cheers!

Hi Lisa

All Tetra's can be recycled and there are more & more sites available to recyle them at now. Just make sure you have opened the top, given them a good rinse (I have soya milk in some & they need a good soak), let them dry and cut out any plastic pourer since the recycling mill won't bother - they will just bin any with plastic pourers still attached. We take ours to our local S@insbury's where they have recycling bins for Tetra's and plastic bottles.
