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. 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.
