My advice on toothpaste tubes was to take them to Boots as this was the only way they could be recycled.
Not any more! (November 2024!) WSCC has just announced that you can now put toothpaste tubes with the caps on into your kerbside recycling bin.
We have modified our recycling plant so that we can accept them as part of your regular recycling routine.
Do not be surprised if other Councils tell you they cannot be recycled at home. We can in West Sussex.
Hard toothpaste tubes with pumps on top should be placed in the general waste bin, as they are made from a different type of plastic and cannot currently be processed.
