Recycling medical blister packs

Stirling Methodist Church has discovered a chemist, Superdrug, that collects and recycles medical blister packs. This looked like a challenge so a collection tub has been set up by the front door of the church into which members of the congregation can put their used medical blister packs as they enter for worship. Every 2/3 weeks a member of the church empties the tub into a bag and when they next pass the chemist, usually the next day, drops them off. This involves a minimum of effort and no one has to go out of their way. To assess how well the scheme is doing, on the first few occasions the tub was emptied, the blister packs were counted. If we continue at the rate we have achieved we will be recycling between 2,000 and 2,500 used blister packs a year.
