We are not currently able to collect drinks and juice cartons or paper containers with metal ends, such as Pringles tubes, for recycling as part of our kerbside recycling service.
However, you can take them for recycling at 10 Household Waste and Recycling Centres (HWRCs) across Cornwall.
At these banks you can recycle:
- Pringles tubes
- Hot chocolate or gravy tubs
- Peanuts tubs
- Juice cartons
- Milk cartons
- Soup, tomatoes and other food cartons.
Please wash and squash cartons and replace the caps or straws before placing in the banks.
Do not include the lid from your Pringles tubes or other paper containers as it's a different material to the plastic used for lids from cartons.
