Recycling empty cosmetics containers at John Lewis

[Nopayrise]

I’ve accumulated a load of these that I want to drop off to recycle (not bothered about the discount voucher) but the website says they have to be clean. How clean is clean? Like I can’t really get a mascara or foundation tube totally clean?

I don’t want to take them and them have them rejected and have to walk around with them all day… going to Brent Cross specifically if that helps

Thanks!

Boots are good for this

i used to to do JL but they became really more limited and only certain makes

Thanks. I have a boots near me but even though it’s huge they don’t do recycling. I’ll look for another one. Are they strict about items being totally clean?

I take off any labels and put mine in the dishwasher. For narrow things - like mascara tubes, I pour washing up liquid half way, add water, then agitate with a cotton bud.

No not ime
