Cassette tape cases
Guidance
Cassette tape cases are made of hard plastic, which cannot be recycled. You can put them in your general waste bin at home or bring them to one of our reuse and recycling centres.
End of hard plastics recycling trial
We have recently had to stop our hard plastics recycling scheme, so these items will be treated as general waste and sent to our energy recovery facility. This is because our recycling processor recently advised us the UK doesn’t currently have the processing capacity to recycle hard plastics, due to high energy prices and an oversupply of cheaper imported plastic products. We will continue to look for a market for these items in case it is possible for us to resume the scheme.
