Shoppers can recycle their Christmas cards at Sainsbury’s this year.

The Crystal Palace store, in Whitehorse Lane, has a Christmas Card recycling bin which will be in place until January 25.

It will be situated at the back of the checkouts and Sainsbury’s is making a donation to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) based on the volume of cards collected.

Sainsbury’s Store Manager Mr Phil Sturla said: “We know that our customers care about the environment and reducing their impact on landfill so we’re providing really simple and hassle-free ways for them to live more sustainably and recycle their Christmas-waste once the holidays are over.”
