Can I recycle it?
Glass and plastic make-up pots are collected as part of your recycling collection. But only if you're able to rinse out the contents from inside.
Please place plastic pots in your red bag for plastic and cans, glass pots in your black box for glass.
Some stores, such as Boots will collect make-up pots.
When is my collection day?
