Recycle your Christmas cards this year and do your bit for the planet.
Sainsbury's in Springfield are holding a Christmas card recycling service in conjunction with the Forest Steward Council UK this year until January 13.
A collection box is at the front of the store
The collected cards will be recycled by Sainsbury’s and it will make a donation to the Forest Stewardship Council UK (FSC) based on the volume of cards collected in its stores.
Sainsbury’s online customers in Chelmsford area can also have their cards collected from their homes when they receive their online shop, making it even easier to recycle and help reduce the amount of household waste going to landfill.
Sainsbury’s Springfield Store Manager Steve Venters said: “We had a really positive response from our customers last year and with their help, we’re hoping to make an even bigger contribution this time.
"It’s a great way to continue that goodwill feeling and ensure your cards are put to positive use, which is all part of our No Waste to Landfill commitment”.
