That’s exactly what Boots is offering with their Recycle at Boots scheme – a simple and rewarding way to handle those tricky beauty and healthcare empties that can’t go in your regular recycling bin.
While some bathroom items, like aerosols, glass jars, and full-sized shampoo bottles, can often be recycled at home, many products made from mixed or non-recyclable materials end up in landfill.
That’s where Boots comes in, giving shoppers an easy solution to recycle items that kerbside collections can’t manage.
Customers just need to download the Recycle at Boots app, scan their empties, and within 24 hours, the app will confirm whether the items are eligible for recycling or rewards.
From toothpaste tubes to lotion pumps and travel-sized cosmetics, Boots makes dealing with hard-to-recycle bits effortless – and shoppers can earn rewards while they’re at it.
Shoppers are loving the initiative and taking advantage of the rewards.
One TikTok user, who goes by the name ‘Hyperfocus_rewards’, shared her experience in a video captioned: “It’s basically 50% back on your £10 spend.”
She revealed that she had 27 items approved for the recycling scheme, meaning she could exchange them for points.
The scheme works by giving customers £5 worth of points on their Advantage card when they recycle five qualifying items and spend £10 in store.
The TikToker explained that her basket full of recycling goods will earn her £25 worth of points – making it not just eco-friendly but wallet-friendly too.
The Recycle at Boots scheme accepts products such as toothpaste tubes, lotion pumps, and small cosmetics like mascaras or travel minis.
This programme is making recycling effortless while rewarding shoppers for their eco-friendly efforts.
