Hi Chris,
Thank you for your recycling question. Takeaway packaging can often be confusing because of the many different types!
Plastic takeaway tubs used for sauces and condiments cannot be disposed of in your kerbside recycling bin in your local area. These items are too small to be processed through the kerbside system and can slip through gaps in sorting equipment.
You might consider washing and re-using tubs like these to store small household items such as hair pins, collector coins, or other bits and pieces.
Unfortunately, we are not aware of any other recycling options for plastic takeaway sauce tubs in your local area, so you will need to dispose of them in your general waste bin at home.
Thank you for reaching out to Recycle Mate. Every question like yours helps us build a stronger platform for providing better recycling solutions.
