SAINSBURY'S has quietly axed a key service at around 250 stores across the country. <\/p>\n
The supermarket giant is said to have closed at least 24 of its recycling centres, with the remaining sites facing the chop.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sainsbury's has been shutting the sites over the past year, as first reported by The Times.<\/p>\n
At the time of writing the chain's website says it has 275 centres, which are located in supermarket car parks.<\/p>\n
The points take metal, paper, glass, cans, batteries and textiles.<\/p>\n
No formal announcement has been made, but several shoppers have reported the closures on social media.<\/p>\n
One wrote: "I\u2019ve got a car full of cardboard\u2026 I took it to Ripley Sainsbury\u2019s Recycle last night, only to find it no longer exists."<\/p>\n While another said: "Cheers Sainsbury\u2019s I actually use the recycling centre."<\/p>\n Fellow users replied: "I hope it's not gone. I use it all the time and it's always full."<\/p>\n Another commented: "It is the removal of the 'little things' that cause the bigger problems to happen further along the line!"<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n A fifth said: "Sainsbury\u2019s recycling banks have gone! Hmph. <\/p>\n "They were so handy\u2026."<\/p>\n While a sixth person also said: "Warwick Sainsbury's no longer has recycling facilities. <\/p>\n "Big shame but hopefully saves you a wasted journey."<\/p>\n Others had taken to Facebook to complain of fly-tipping and huge overflows of rubbish where the recycling banks had been removed.<\/p>\n One woman posted: "What is going on with the area in Sainsbury\u2019s car park that used to have recycling facilities? <\/p>\n "It is the most hideous mess. I have tried contacting Sainsbury\u2019s management but seems it is impossible to speak to anyone about this."<\/p>\n The report suggests that many of the sites were closed in September.<\/p>\n A Sainsbury\u2019s spokesperson told The Sun: \u201cWe want to focus on the areas where we can make the biggest difference and support our customers in their efforts to help the planet. <\/p>\n "As recycling of materials such as glass and cardboard is available from home with local councils, we\u2019re prioritising services at our stores that people cannot get elsewhere. <\/p>\n "For example, all our supermarkets offer flexible plastic recycling.\u201d<\/p>\n Several other supermarkets also offer recycling points within their car parks.<\/p>\n These include Tesco and Morrisons.<\/p>\n You can find your nearest recycling point by typing in your postcode to www.recyclenow.com\/recycling-locator.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, hundreds of adults are still confused about what they can and can't recycle, a report has found.<\/p>\n Plus, you\u2019ve been doing your bins wrong \u2013 the most common items that can't be put in your recycling.<\/p>\n Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
