It's a Ho Ho not very happy Christmas from Terracycle who have chose this week to announce the closing of the Taylors scheme!

Last day for drop offs Friday 23rd January 2026.

Many thanks for everything that you do collect. We are still managing to raise some funds for charities and each bit sent is, at least, properly recycled and reused.

Today had notice that the Babybel programme is also closing. Last drop offs 29th November. I currently don't have enough to earn any points so as much as possible by then would be appreciated!

21/10/2025

Sadly the Cheese programme is also closing next month. Please can I have your final drop offs by 16th November.

The good news is that Terracycle have changed to FedEx so I can pack bigger boxes which will help some of the collections!

PLEASE continue to collect for pladis, Warburtons, Spontex, Pringles
Babybel, Kinder/Ferrero, Lavazza, Taylors and Burt's Bees.

I've probably forgotten one or two.....!

Thanks, as always, for your support. We keep going as best we can!

Huge congratulations to the Eco church team (interest declared!) at Christ Church Epsom Common on achieving the A Rocha Gold Award!

It's a major accolade and follows years of hard work. Proud to be involved and doing my bit in protecting our world, locally and globally

Thank you to everyone who has saved even just one wrapper or glove that has been sent to Terracycle.

I expect when Bob Marley wrote and sang "Exodus" he wasn't thinking of Terracycle but he could well have been.....

Sadly both the Flash AND Air & Home programmes are closing this month. Last date for drop off is 19th July.

Thank you, as always, for continuing to support what remains on the site!

As Greenway Terracycle celebrate Easter, please see below a short video from one of the charities that we support with our donations.

Thank you to everyone who continues to collect, drop off or send in the post.

There is a lot of change going on in corporate support and sponsorship but every little bit makes a huge difference to places like Univida.

They will soon be getting £34 towards their work. Not much, perhaps, but that means 3400 items of plastic have been saved from landfill and turned into "money".

Please continue to do what you can, more if possible, and thank you from myself and from Ruth and Marc at Univida for supporting them.

Sistema is closing! One of the best schemes they had. Last drop off is Saturday 17th May. After that, if you can recycle elsewhere please do.

13/01/2025

It didn't take long - Terracycle have announced that the Phillips programme is closing so last date for drop offs is 2nd February please.

As the Colgate programme also closed a while ago this means I can't send ANY dental products after this date. It's a real shame for me as those items will now be going back into the bin. I know there are more environmentally friendly alternatives but some of them have not been great for me personally but more research on the way!
