Greene King's ‘Tub2Pub’ - a recycling campaign to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support and recycle plastics - has returned!
Last year, over 240,000 tubs were collected, raising £10,916 for Macmillan Cancer Support. With your help, we can beat that record in 2026!
Until 15 February 2026, its pubs, restaurants, and hotels will accept your clean and empty confectionery, biscuit and cracker tubs.

 Batteries must never go in your bins as they are a serious fire risk to our vehicles and crews.
Please take them to collection points in shops instead, or to your Household Waste Recycling Centre.
Electronics such as old toys, string lights and appliances also present a fire risk and must not go in any of your bins! Donate if in good condition, or take to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre.
