We also collect unwanted makeup at our recycling events - next one is Saturday 12th September 10-11.30 at Not Just Sundaes Community Cafe.

💄 Good news! It's now easier than ever to recycle unwanted make-up. Many Boots stores, along with selected Superdrug and Tesco locations, now offer dedicated make-up recycling points.

Check with your local store or visit the retailer's website to find your nearest recycling facility. Know of any other retailers offering a similar service? Let us know in the comments and help spread the word!

Save the planet and save money!

Heading off to university this autumn? Before spending loads of money on brand-new household items, take a look at what's available pre-loved first!

From crockery to saucepans, lamps, storage and furniture, you can save money and find what you need from charity shops and online marketplaces, or even for free on local reuse sites like Freegle, The Freecycle Network, and OLIO - Share More, Waste Less.
