From the Maybeline website who are responsible with Terracycle for the recycle make-up Bin in stores like Tesco..
Step 1: Find your nearest recycling station on our interactive map here. We're currently rolling out to over 1000 stores nationwide, across Superdrug, Sainbury's and Tesco (and we're hoping to expand even more in 2021!) Bins in Superdrug should be available from 09/09 and in Sainsbury's from 14/09.
Step 2: Drop off those past-it palettes, long-lost liners and finished foundations to one of our recycling stations.
Step 3: Once our recycling stations are full, our recycling partner 'TerraCycle' will come and collect the waste from store to be cleaned and recycled! Find out more about the recycling process on their website.
