Potton Recycling
Potton Recycling is a joint Potton Town Council and Potton Hall for All initiative to increase recycling in the town and raise funds for the Hall for All.
We are a Terracycle public collection point for some of the items which our local household recycling does not take. Items recycled through the scheme will help to raise money for the Potton Hall for All. Collection bins are located at the town council offices on Brook End.
You can deposit the following items in our bins:
– Biscuit, cake & cracker wrappers
– Household disposable or ‘rubber’ gloves
– Ferrero and Kinder branded packaging
– Nutella branded biscuits pouches
– Warburtons brand wax wrap from bread – ending 27th August 2026
Unless stated otherwise, we accept all brands. Please see the labels on the bins for what goes where. Items do not need to be washed but should be empty and please flatten Pringles tubes as it makes them much easier to pack.
NO LONGER ACCEPTED
Please note that we no longer accept any kind of oral care products such as toothpaste tubes and toothbrushes or packaging from crisps, nuts, popcorn or pretzels – this is because the manufacturers who were sponsoring the programmes have withdrawn their funding.
We run regular packing events to sort and pack the waste, and always welcome new volunteers to these! So far we have raised over £2,000 for the Potton Hall for All and collected upwards of 1.5 tonnes of waste which would not otherwise have been recycled.
