Recycling Bring Banks - Cartons
You can now recycle your paper-based drinks and liquid food cartons, such as those made by Tetra Pak, at various points within the District. Carton collection banks can be found at:
- United Co-op, Springfield, Stokesley, Middlesbrough, Cleveland.
- Auction Mart Car Park, Bridge Street, Bedale, North Yorkshire.
- Applegarth Car Park, Applegarth, Northallerton, North Yorkshire.
- Galtres Centre, Market Place, Easingwold, North Yorkshire.
- Tesco, Station Road, Thirsk, North Yorkshire (this bank has been temporarily uplifted but will be back at the site before May 31st)
Each year, UK beverage carton manufacturers produce 55,000 tonnes of paper-based cartons for milk, juice, sauces and other liquid food/drinks. This equates to around 2.3kg of cartons per household which could be recycled instead of thrown in the rubbish bin.
In response, Hambleton District Council is working with Tetra Pak and the carton industry body ACE UK (Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment) to establish carton collection points at key recycling points for residents to take their empty cartons to be recycled.
Once collected, the cartons can be taken away to be baled, transported to a recycling mill. They can be recycled into a number of different products, ranging from plasterboard liner to high-strength paper bags and envelopes.
