Boots Advantage Card tips

If you recycle five empty toiletry or cosmetic containers at a participating Boots store, you'll get a voucher for 500 bonus Advantage Card points (worth £5) when you next spend £10 at Boots. 

You can use the scheme to recycle containers which can't be recycled through your household waste, such as mascaras, lipsticks or make-up palettes. Boots says it won't offer the reward for items which can be recycled at home, such as shampoo and shower gel bottles.

How to recycle at Boots

It's a little fiddly and takes some planning, as you need to have your empty containers approved online before you can recycle them. What's more, the reward voucher is only valid for three days. It's worth making a list of items you need to buy in advance, so you can recycle your containers and use your voucher on the same trip.

Here's what you need to do to get the bonus points:

• Register with the Scan2Recycle website.
• Take photos of the empty containers and submit them online for approval. 
• Visit your local Boots store and find the recycling box (it should be near the No7 counter, but it may be elsewhere in the store).
• Scan the QR code on the box, and select which items you're depositing.
• Your voucher will then appear in your Scan2Recycle account, in the 'Rewards' section. Simply scan it at the checkout when making a purchase of £10 or more.
