Greene King's Tub2Pub, a recycling campaign to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support and to recycle plastics, is back.

Tub2Pub 2024 saw the pub chain collect over 150,000 tubs, raising £12,600 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Greene King hopes to beat last year's record this year with your help.

In Richmond, you can drop of your clean and empty tubs at either The Cricketers or Roebuck at any time until 16 February, just ask a staff member where's best to drop them.

The pub will accept confectionary tubs, biscuit tubs, and cracker tubs.

Greene King said: "We're all guilty of indulging in chocolate, sweets and crackers over the festive period, and in the UK, we are buying tens of millions of these plastic tubs every year!

"Make sure your tubs don't go to waste and bring your clean, empty plastic confectionery and cracker tubs to any Greene King managed site in 1 Jan - 16 Feb 2025 to be recycled.

"Simply leave your tubs with a Greene King staff member at the bar or welcome station within one of their locations.

"All tubs will be collected and taken to a plastic reprocessing centre where they're shredded, before being sold onto plastic manufacturers to use in place of virgin plastics.

"All money raised from the sale of Tub2Pub plastics will be given directly to Macmillan Cancer Support."
