Christmas cards can be recycled at Sainsbury's in Portswood, Southampton again this year, and they are also being collected at the Third Age Centre on Cranbury Terrace - both to support environmental projects.
Christmas cards can be recycled at selected Sainsbury's stores until January 13, 2016, and the store will make a donation to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) based on the weight collected.
The Portswood collection box is by the customer service area.
The FSC says nline customers can also have their cards collected from their homes when they receive their online shop, making it easier to recycle and help reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.
All ‘paper’ wrapping paper can also be placed in the Christmas card recycling collection boxes, according to the FSC
Meanwhile The Third Age Centre on Cranbury Terrace, off Onslow Road, will also reportedly be collecting cards and taking them to M&S who are working with the Woodland Trust and planting a tree for every 1000 collected.
