Where/how to dispose old trainers and Babybel cheese wax?! Thanks

[Smiley_blue_1234]

Hi! Does anyone know how to dispose of the below in the most environmental friendly way please?

- worn out trainers (I heard Nike started to recycle them but they are not Nike so don’t think they would accept them)

- babybel cheese wax (I don’t want to reuse it to make a candle 😉)

 

Thank you!!!

There are usually shoe and trainer recycling 'bins' - think there is one by the Plough pub.

I don't think there is much you can do with babybel wax - it's not recyclable.

This says candle wax and shows pix of white candles but it doesn't say the waxmust be white.

You could mail and ask them

Great! Thank you both!! 

For future reference:

Post your scrap wax (any colour, scent, size and in all types of container including glass) to:

The Recycled Candle Company 

Unit 9

Moorland Gate Business Park

Cowling Road

Chorley

Trouble is, the postage would probably be exorbitant 🙄

There are trainer and other recycling bins in Decathlon Surrey quays. I can't remember exactly all the products accepted.

 

Also, in case anyone's interested, you can get a freepost envelope to recycle disposable razors via Gillette and terracycle.
