The London Borough of Merton has announced the installation of recycling bins at 12 transport hubs and five public parks. The bins, which have been placed near tram, train and tube stations, and in parks will be able to take cartons, along with other recyclables including, newspapers and magazines, cans, plastic bottles, and glass containers.

Tetra Pak’s Recycling Operations Manager, Fay Dashper added:

“Merton’s residents have a great carton collection from their homes and now they can recycle their used milk, juice and even wine cartons when they are out and about. We are really pleased to see that Merton have gone even further on carton recycling by installing these new bins. It will help residents to recycle more of their cartons, more of the time, wherever they are.”
