You can dispose of these at home or take them to your local recycling centre (RC). Recycle the lid and body of the container separately, making sure both are clean and dry.

    Both metal and plastic biscuit or sweet containers, including their plastic insert trays, can be placed in your recycling bin at home.

  • Which RC container

    Use the mixed recycling container.

    All our recycling centres accept biscuit and sweet tins and tubs.
