Has anyone used the Boots recycling scheme?

[Muchtoomuchtodo]

If so can I recycle tablet packets? The white plastic ones with foil on the back that the tablet is pushed through?

I can’t find them on the list but am sure they were on the poster that I saw in store.

I don’t visit a branch often so don’t want to start collecting them if they’re not part of the scheme.

Yes, that has happened to me twice, but a chocolate bar has sorted it each time (our branch is small and quiet and they are in easy reach). Just adds to the complication though. Going to try again with both on Saturday.

I have just had an oestrogel pump rejected 🙄

I've tried oestrogel twice but it says it's a medical product. I've got plenty of other empties so will go back to putting it in the recycling bin.

We aren't allowed to put any plastic except bottles in our normal recycling. Annoying as I'm back down to 4 on beauty again now.

Poor effort by the council on that.

Yes, they are very poor. We still don't have food waste collections either and won't for a few more months.

I didn’t think you could use both vouchers on the same day. Am I wrong?
I do end up buying a lot in Boots due to recycling. I checked in Home bargains though and a lot of things are much cheaper which is annoying. I tend to wait until things are on offer in Boots and buy then.
I was hoping to buy some Elnette hairspray but it’s gone back up in price 😡. Much cheaper in Home Bargains so I’ll wait until Boots put it back on offer again.

You can use one of each type of voucher on the same day, but it has to be separate transactions, 1x £10 and 1x £5

No it doesn’t , i always use mine on same transaction of £10 , and I used a manned till , just tell them I have 2 vouchers

This may well have been mentioned before but I have just discovered that my resealable packets of Elavate collagen powder and FreeSoul magnesium packets are accepted.

They did sit in my Pending section for a good few days as the brands were not in the list. I submitted them as Unlisted/Not Listed and they have gone through.

Will try our resealable protein packet when it’s empty.

That’s worth knowing.
so you can get 600 points just from spending £10.
I’ve been doing them all separately.

Yes , can only do the blister packs 4 times a month though ( beauty is 8 times ) but I make sure I do 4 transactions of as close to £10 as possible 🤣

@bugalugs45great advice thank you
