Carton recycling

You can now recycle your paper-based drinks and liquid food and Tetra Pak cartons at various points across North Somerset.

Each year 55,000 tonnes of these paper-based products are produced to hold food and drinks such as milk, juice and sauces - this is around 2.3kg of cartons per household.

Alongside Tetra Pak and the carton industry body ACE UK we have established the following carton recycling points:

  • Waitrose - Portishead
  • Tesco - Clevedon
  • Clevedon Road Car Park - Nailsea
  • Somerfield - Yatton
  • Tesco - Weston-super-Mare
  • The Woodborough Pub - Winscombe

Once collected, your cartons are taken away to a recycling mill in Sweden where they will be turned into a number of different products ranging from plasterboard liner to high-strength paper bags and envelopes.
