52Eco#40 Recycle used contact lenses at Boots Opticians.

Writer's picture: 52Steps52Steps

Boots Opticians accept used contact lenses (yes, the used lenses themselves!), the plastic blister packs and the foil backing, as all of their optician stores have Acuvue-sponsored Terracycle recycling collection boxes. See the Acuvue page on the Terracycle website for more details (including a drop-off point location map).


The plastic lens-solution bottles are accepted by virtually all council kerbside recycling schemes, so can be recycled at home.


Other opticians accept some but not all contact-lens-related items for recycling , so double check before you deposit items.


Just think how many contact lenses and blister packs end up in landfill each day! This is a really easy eco step which needs sharing with any contact lens wearers you know.
