Over the past year, Yate Town Council has helped residents recycle an impressive 239.82 kg of blister packs by providing recycling bins at our Poole Court and Pop Inn Café venues.

This is a fantastic achievement for our community.

With such a need for this type of recycling, we are asking local organisations, businesses, and facilities, including GP surgeries and pharmacies, to also join the initiative and host their own blister pack recycling bin.

Together, we can make recycling easier for residents and increase the amount of blister packs we divert from waste. Let’s see how much more we can recycle together!
