The Spontex® Disposable Gloves Recycling Scheme

There are 2 different ways to participate in this scheme:

1) Drop off your household disposable gloves at your nearest public drop-off location

Find your nearest public drop-off location on the interactive map above and drop off your gloves.

2) Apply to set up a public drop-off location

If there are no public drop-off locations near you, you can set-up your own. However please be aware that the scheme is currently full so you will be placed on a waiting list and only added to the map if the scheme has added new locations and if you meet the necessary requirements. 

If you are an existing member of the scheme who currently collects privately but would like to set up your own public drop-off location, you can set one up somewhere accessible to members of the public.

In both cases, if you would like to proceed, please simply follow the steps below:

1. Create a TerraCycle® account (doesn't apply for existing members of the scheme)
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 finalise your request

Note: we do not provide collection boxes for this scheme - we would ask that you reuse any clean and sturdy cardboard box.

Once you are a member of the scheme (by setting up a public drop-off location) and when you are ready to send a shipment, please follow these steps:

1. Download a free UPS label from your account
2. Print your label out
3. Attach your label to your parcel. Please make sure you use a sturdy cardboard box which is no larger than 60x60x50cm in size. 
4. ​Simply book a free pick-up via UPS by calling 03457 877 877 or book online via this link. Alternatively, you can also drop off your parcel at your closest UPS drop-off point, which you can find here.
