Tesco makes recycling easier.

The first automated recycling centre at a Scottish supermarket was opened on 4th March 2009.

The new facility at Tesco Extra in Shettleston, Glasgow, is designed to make recycling quicker, easier and more convenient as shoppers can recycle a variety of materials in the same machine.Items accepted include cans, plastic and glass. Waste is then crushed and compacted on site resulting in fewer lorry collections, reducing carbon emissions.Under Tesco's current promotion, recyclers will receive one Green club card point for every two aluminium cans recycled.
