Old Christmas Cards

[Oleanda]

For the past several years, supermarkets and the like have had bins for collecting old Christmas cards, but not this year. Anyone know why?

There's one in my local, Sainsburys.

My local Morrisons has one

Probably because we have recycle bins now.

[gangesboy]

my local Sainsbury's also has one

Coincidently, I checked my local Sainsburys yesterday, two containers for batteries but none for Christmas cards. Will enquire at next visit.

Morrisons, Tesco and M&S around here don't have them. I asked in Morrisons and the girl didn't seem to know what I was talking about. They all had them last year.

My Sainsbury's has one and it's only a very small store.

M&S had one which I used last week. It took a bit of finding but it was the usual Woodland Trust collection. Worth asking in your branch in case its hidden

My local Asda has one, I've put them in.

Just put them in your recycling bin, making sure no addresses are on them

[viv41]

I didn't know you could put cards into recycle bins ?

[Maydup]

If you put them in the household recycling bin you'd have to remove any non paper additions like glitter or foil, but you can chuck them in just as they are at the collection points; plus it helps raise some money and replant trees.

[viv41]

I'll carry on putting them in the collection points then.

I always make next year's pressie tags from the christmas cards I receive!

My local Sainsbury's has one but it was full. I had to leave my bag at the side of the huge box.
