What do I do with contact lenses?

You can dispose of contact lenses using the appropriate container for your recycling and waste collections service or at a Recycling and Waste Park:

Trolibocs service

Bag service

Communal bin service

Guidance

You can recycle old contact lenses at Boots Opticians.

TerraCycle (external website)

Sometimes the manufacturers of difficult to recycle products will work with a company called Terracycle to offer local drop off points or postal labels for their products.

You can find out if this item is currently accepted and the location of your nearest drop off point by visiting the Terracycle website (external website). These locations are usually run by individual volunteers and are subject to change.
