We can no longer recycle cartons and Tetra Paks
Tetra Pak packaging, such as that used for cartons of juice and milk, can no longer be placed in recycling bins. These products must now go into general waste instead.
Kent County Council, which disposes of recycled waste once we have collected it, is having to stop processing the material, as across the country it is becoming increasingly difficult to recycle it.
Tetra Pak is most commonly used for long life milk, fruit juice, soup and ice lolly cartons. It is made of a number of different materials which are difficult to separate and recycle.
Please put all Tetra Paks in with the rest of your non-recyclable household waste, allowing it to be used for generating electricity. It will not be sent to landfill.
