Tired of tossing out empty toiletries? Money-saving expert Jordan Cox, better known as the Coupon Kid online, has a brilliant solution that can turn your trash into treasure. Boots, the popular UK pharmacy chain, has a program called ‘Recycle At Boots’ that allows you to earn vouchers and points simply by recycling your empty toiletries.
How does it work? It’s as simple as grabbing your phone and downloading the ‘Recycle At Boots’ app. Open the app, and you can start scanning or taking pictures of your empty toiletries. This includes everything from toothpaste and mouthwash to hand soap bottles and makeup. The best part? You don’t even have to have purchased these products from Boots.
Once you’ve accumulated five accepted scans, head to your nearest Boots store. Look for the ‘Recycle At Boots’ drop box, scan the QR code on the box with your app, and deposit your empties. You’ll then receive a voucher on your app, plus a generous 500 Advantage Card points (worth £5) for the next time you spend £10 in store. The voucher is valid for three days, so make sure to use it quickly.
Cox, who boasts a large following on Instagram and frequently appears on ITV’s This Morning, enthusiastically promotes this program as a great way to save money and recycle harder-to-recycle items. His followers have been quick to praise the tip, with many sharing their own positive experiences and enthusiasm for this environmentally friendly way to save a few pounds.
It’s worth noting that John Lewis also offers a similar recycling program, so if you’re a regular shopper there, be sure to check it out. Whether you’re looking for ways to save money, reduce your environmental impact, or both, this program offers a win-win solution. So next time you’re running low on toiletries, remember that those empty bottles could be worth a little extra cash!
