The Crisp Packet Recycling Scheme

Recycle all crisp packets

Any brand of crisp packets

Recycle from Anywhere

How it works

This programme will be closing on April 25th 2022. Please drop off your empty packs in advance of this date to allow enough time for the public drop-off location administrators to prepare their last parcels. After this date, simply drop them off at a collection point at your nearest participating supermarket, which you can find here.

For programme members: please be sure to request your label(s) and send your last parcels by April 25th 2022.

Thank you again for your participation and please take a look at our other free recycling programmes so you can keep recycling with us.

Learn More About Walkers

Walkers is the nation’s favourite crisp brand. Founded in Leicester in 1948, Walkers produces many of the country’s best-loved snacks, including Walkers crisps, Walkers Sensations, Walkers Oven Baked, Quavers, Wotsits and Monster Munch. We’re committed to making all our snacks packaging 100% recyclable, compostable or biodegradable by 2025 – and are working to meet that ambition as fast as we can. In the meantime, we’re collaborating with TerraCycle so that we can recycle used crisp packets and reduce waste.
