Recycle those Christmas cards at Sainsbury’s

Post-Christmas clean up? Don’t throw your old Christmas cards out with the rest of your household rubbish – recycle them at Sainsbury’s Blackhall!

Sainsbury’s is providing local residents with a solution to make use of their Christmas cards this year. The store has a Christmas card recycling bin in place and residents can bring in their cards until 15 January.

Sainsbury’s is making a donation to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) based on the volume of cards collected.

Sainsbury’s are trying to do their bit for the environment by helping customers tackle post-Christmas waste and impact on landfill by: 

• Making a donation to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) from Christmas card recycling in 500 stores including Blackhall
• Providing a safe way for customers to dispose of post-Christmas batteries – over 21 million batteries recycled by Sainsbury’s in the past year from in-store collections
• Offering recycling facilities at over 300 stores including Blackhall  to help customers reduce waste to landfill and support hassle free post-Christmas clear outs – Sainsbury’s has collected over 9 million items of clothing in 11 months!
