Looking for an easy way to reduce waste and make your beauty and healthcare routine more sustainable? Boots at Handforth Dean Retail Park offers a range of convenient recycling schemes that help give hard to recycle items a second life.
Beauty Recycling Made Easy
Many beauty and personal care products contain mixed materials or small components that are not accepted through standard recycling collections. The Recycle at Boots scheme helps to tackle this problem by providing a dedicated collection point for these items.
You can recycle a range of products including toothpaste tubes, mascara wands, lipstick cases, empty wipe packets and other empty cosmetic containers. The scheme rewards you with 500 points on your Boots Advantage Card (worth £5), when you recycle at least 5 qualifying items and spend £10 or more in store on the same day.

Recycle Contact Lenses Responsibly
Contact lenses, lens blister packs and foil lids often aren’t suitable for household recycling collections.
Boots Handforth Dean offers shoppers a convenient way to recycle these items, helping to prevent small plastics from ending up in landfill. Whether you wear daily, weekly or monthly lenses, saving your used lenses and packaging for recycling can make a huge difference.
Recycle Empty Medicine and Vitamin Blister Packs
Boots has also introduced a dedicated blister pack recycling scheme, making it easier than ever to responsibly dispose of empty medicine and vitamin packaging. Blister packs are notoriously difficult to recycle at home because they are made from a combination of plastic and foil.
By bringing your empty blister packs to Boots Handforth Dean, you can ensure they are collected and processed through a specialist recycling stream. You’ll also be rewarded with 100 points on your Boots Advantage Card (worth £1) when you recycle 5 qualifying items and spend £5 or more in store on the same day.
Next time you visit Handforth Dean Retail Park, bring along your empty beauty products, used contact lenses and blister packs to recycle in store.
