Give your plastic tubs a new life this January! ♻️

From 1 January to 15 February 2026, you can recycle your clean, empty confectionery, biscuit and cracker tubs at participating drop‑off points across Essex.

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.

It’s a simple way to cut down on plastic waste after Christmas and help turn used tubs into new, reusable products 💚

Find your nearest drop‑off location and learn more on the Love Essex website 🔎
