Blister Pack Recycling Scheme
in association with The View Coffee Shop

In January 2025 we started a medicine blister pack recycling scheme in association with The View Coffee Shop.

 

The idea is that you can drop off any empty blister packs at The View Coffee Shop along with a voluntary donation to help towards the cost of the postage and recycling charges. 

 

Each blister pack  costs between 2p and 7p to recycle, this price comes down the more we collect.  All we ask is for a small voluntary donation to help cover these costs.  A minimum suggested donation of 50p per drop off (approximately 15 strips). We're very excited to announce we've now saved 6000 blister packs from ending up in landfill.  These have all been sent off to Terracycle to be recycled and made into new products such as garden furniture and bird feeders.  As the trial was so successful we've been able to continue the scheme and donations are averaging about 600 blister packs per month (costing 3p each to send off).  Thanks so much for your support we're thrilled with how well its been supported.
