Don't Bin Your Empties! How to Turn Bathroom Waste into High Street Credit
Your empty toiletries are worth more than you think. Several high street brands are currently offering "recycle and reward" schemes: Boots: Use the Recycle at Boots app to scan 5 "hard-to-recycle" items (like toothpaste tubes or lipstick). Once validated, deposit them in-store and spend £10 to receive 500 Advantage Card points (worth £5). John Lewis: Their "BeautyCycle" scheme often rewards members with £5 off beauty purchases when they return five empty containers. Lush: Return any plastic Lush jar for 50p off your next purchase, or bring 5 to get a free Fresh Face Mask . Savvy Hack: Before you head out, check if your local Boots also accepts medicine blister packs . Some branches now offer 100 points (£1) for every 5 empty packs deposited with a £5 spend.
