can you recycle Pringles tubes?

[Bourjois]

Just asking. I have quite a lot of them.

I don't think you can. because of the metal base.

you could put them in our recycling as ours takes cardboard and tins as well as plastics

I presume so as our recycling guys take them whenever we've put them in our recycling box. Not sure how to sort them though due to plastic lid, cardboard tube and metal base. We just put them in whole and they get taken.

Long-haul Wifi?

If you have the little ikea coloured beakers/cups then Pringles lids fit exactly and transform them into excellent snack carriers.

I use the lids for cat food tins, great fit :)

I take the metal base out and recycle the card tube

Empty Pringles containers and lids are also excellent for storing small cars, dinosaurs, crayons, craft beads and bits, Lego bits and other small children stuff. They can be re-covered with a sheet of coloured paper and decorated with stickers if you want a quick project to amuse small DC whilst having a crafty MN session.

Local nursery might take them.

Our local council specifically mentions that they won't take Pringles tubes for recycling.

Every council seems to have different systems and rules, though.

Our local council specifically states that they do take Pringles tubes in the recycling bin on their recycling A-Z table.

So looks like it all depends on where you live.

Keep them for when the school spring it on you that need as many tubes as possible in the next 24 hours

Yes. Mine are usually recycled into mess, sorry 'artistic home-made models' in kids room. But I hear the council will collect them too.
