In Macclesfield

25th Feb 2020

Terracycle is an interesting complement to Council Recycling Schemes accommodating materials that are generally not economically recyclable.

Volunteers collect items, sorting them by type, so that 'pure' bags of each product type can be presented for recycling.

In return, Terracycle makes a donation to a charity of the collector's choice, and the cost of recycling is subsidised by one of the manufacturers of that type of product.

The recycled plastic is generally not used to make more of the original product, but is instead used to make largely dark-coloured extruded sections for garden furniture etc.

More Information

Volunteers listed below, divide materials into specific 'streams'
(not every location accepts all streams).

Try to avoid making a special trip to the drop off point; don't burn a few grams of fuel to save a few grams of plastic.

Scoop & Scales have a drop off point on the left hand side,
just before you go into the shop.

Another drop off point in Macclesfield is
41 Ivy Lane, (not Ivy Road), SK11 8NU
The proceeds go to Kicks Count a charity that helps prevent still births and neonatal issues.
