Recycling in partnership with Pringles®
This programme is currently full. You can drop-off your Pringles® cans at public drop-off locations across the UK – find your local one here.
Important!
We do not provide collection boxes for private collectors or public drop-off locations for this programme.
Please note that this programme is no longer accepting new participants. Please consult the map below to drop off your waste at an existing public drop-off location.
Drop-off locations
How it works
Use a public drop-off location near you
Find your nearest public drop-off locations on the map above.
These are communal collection points, where anyone can take their used Pringles® cans for recycling. Remember, these sites are run on a voluntary basis and the map is regularly updated, so before each visit, we recommend that you check with the site that it is open.
Also, don’t forget the drop-off location volunteer could earn TerraCycle® points for local good causes every time you drop-off your Pringles® cans.
Set up a public drop-off location
Please note this only applies to members participating in the recycling programme.
We want to make this programme available to as many households as possible – while ensuring we minimise its environmental impact – so we’re asking people who don’t have a public drop-off location nearby to set one up.
Why not get involved today and earn even more TerraCycle® points for the local good cause of your choice? Almost anywhere can be set-up as a public collection point, including shops, supermarkets, community centres and schools etc. Simply register the site by filling in this application form.
What you can recycle in this programme
What happens to the waste
Once collected, the aggregated Pringles® tubes and plastic lids are sorted, shredded and washed. The material is then densified into hard-granulated plastic granules. The granules are then extruded so they can be incorporated into the production of different plastic products such as fence posts and benches.
