Eco#53 Recycle shaving razors by post.


***Update Spring 2021***The Gillette razor recycling scheme is up and running again***


Gillette is accepting ANY BRAND of razor (razor heads and disposable razors too) for Terracycle recycling, when sent inside one of their official freepost envelopes. See www.gillette.co.uk/recycle.list for more details of the scheme, or read on for a summary...


All you need to do is fill in the online form found here (gillette.co.uk/recycle , with your name and postal address and they will send you a freepost envelope to put (up to 16) razor-items in. It takes up to 4 weeks for the envelope to arrive, so order one sooner rather than later. Only razors in the official envelopes will be accepted for recycling. More details are given in the Terms and Conditions tucked away at the bottom of the relevant page of the Gillette website.


Just think how many razors end up in landfill each day! This is a really easy eco step which needs sharing with anyone you know who doesn't have an enormous beard...
