The Cheese Packaging Recycling Programme

There are 2 different ways to participate in this programme:

1) Drop off all brands of flexible plastic cheese packaging at your nearest public drop-off location

Find your nearest public drop-off location on the interactive map above and drop off any brand of flexible plastic cheese pouches, individual plastic cheese wrappers and sliced cheese protective plastic film.

2) Set up a public drop-off location

If there are no public drop-off locations near you, you can apply to set up your own. We will be carefully reviewing applications to ensure there is good coverage of accessible public drop-off locations across the UK. As part of this process, public drop-off locations in highly populated areas will be prioritised. But don’t worry, we are also including rural areas in the programme.

Follow the steps below to apply to set up a public drop-off location:

1. Create a TerraCycle® account
2. Find a public place to host your collection (with the prior consent of the person in charge of the place)
3. Fill out this form to request to join the programme as a public drop-off location administrator
