Single-Use Plastic Recycling
There are many soft single-use plastic items that we use everyday like toothbrushes, cheese packaging and make up that can’t be recycled by the council. Sussex Green Living have set up community recycling collection points across Horsham District for these and many other products through partnership with TerraCycle. TerraCycle an innovative recycling company that has become a global leader in recycling hard-to-recycle materials. This scheme helps diverts billions of waste resources from our landfills and incinerators, recycling them to make new products.
Income generated through our recycling benefits: Purple Community Fund, Springboard Project, William Penn School, Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance and Sussex Green Living.
Soft single use plastic packaging can now be recycled at local supermarkets, view our supermarket recycling page to find out what items your local store takes. However if there is a choice give them to us, read on to learn what we can recycle through TerraCycle.
