Has anyone used the Boots recycling scheme?

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.

I have a family alert now that no one is allowed to spend money in Boots without me and without recycling! 😄

I don’t think any of my family do spend in there, the DCs use Savers and Superdrug and DH just picks up anything he wants in the supermarket. I get in dilemmas, yes I want the points, but chances are I can get the same product cheaper elsewhere (Savers or Costco for bulk purchases).

I’ve been doing the Boots recycling scheme for a couple of years. Both the beauty and blister recycling.
Amazing how many products my 2 person household gets through which are eligible and would otherwise go into landfill.
I just collect a bag full until the next time I’m going to the participating store and also keep a list of basics to purchase looking when they’re on offer at boots. If I’m going to be using the items anyway and they’re on offer I’ll make sure to stock up purely to get the recycling points back on my card.
I think it’s a really useful scheme all be it a little faffy to log and deposit.
Sometimes I don’t even use or claim the points rewards just do a deposit in store if I’m near the shop anyway.
Its still worthwhile for the recycling aspect.
Doesn’t take long to soon get another bag of items together for the next time.

Also worth noting and I didn’t know at first that you can cash in and earn 600 advantage points (500 beauty plus 100 blister) in one purchase of over £10 spend. Just open and scan the two voucher codes at the till.
