Tetra pac carton recycling
Does anyone know of anywhere in Gorleston where I can take tetra pac cartons to be recycled?
I was sure they had a bin for them at Tesco but last time I went there it had gone :(

I am pretty sure the reason you can't put them in the green bins is because there is only a small amount of profit to be made once they have separated the materials in the cartons and therefore not many people are willing to have the expence or the responsibility of providing one (I have been tryiing for years to get one on the estate I live in -we already have a mixed glass bottle bank- but I keep coming up against the costs issue),
I'm really surprised that they mix them at the dump, it just makes it even more frustrating for those of us that use a lot of cartons and confuses us too. It is really irritating that we can't recycle more in our green bins, in Suffolk they can put yoghurt pots and plastic fruit packaging (the trays). I suppose it could be worse, I have a friend who lives ion a tower block in Norwich and they have no facilities to recycle at all :O
I was hoping to find somewhere closer as driving to the dump to recycle cartons is kinda counter productive carbon footprint-wise lol.
I will have a look at Morrisons, you didn't say that they do have a carton bin there so I am hoping they have. I have been wondering where all the bottle banks had gone. I reckon it's good that they have moved them out of the free unlimited time council part of the car park, there are precious few unlimited time free parking in the high street
Thanks again for your response
Take care.
