Sainsbury’s Go Orange

If you go down to the store today you’re sure of a big surprise …. Sainsbury’s have a new recycling scheme, and it’s Orange. Not at the Barkingside store, the car park is not big enough, but at Newbury Park and Central Ilford. As you can see they will accept things that have never been accepted before, Aerosols, Margarine tubs, Yoghurt pots, rigid plastic food packets, domestic batteries and low energy light bulbs.

This is a private initiative by Sainsbury’s so any recycling here will not show up on the council’s wasteline figures, and perhaps more importantly the council [taxpayer] will not be paying for it’s reprocessing.

As part of the revamp the tetrapak containers have disappeared at both these sites but we expect them to be back early next week. In the meantime there are tetrapak containers at Tescos in South Woodford and Craven Gardens car park.
