Gloucestershire Recycles

The council has a dedicated webpage containing a lot of information about recycling locally (including information about repair and charity shops):

Repair Café

This takes place on the 1st Saturday of the month between 10am-1pm at St Andrew’s Church, Montpellier. Bring your broken small electrical items, textiles, knives and tools for sharpening. Repairs are free, but donations are gratefully encouraged to keep the project going.  See https://www.facebook.com/regenerationcheltenham/ for further information.

Podback

Do you have a coffee machine that uses pods? Podback offers a way of recycling coffee pods by putting them out with your kerbside collection. If you would like to take advantage of this scheme, go to www.podback.org to register.

Soft Plastic Recycling at the local Co-op

Our local Co-op stores in Cheltenham (including Bath Road, Montpellier, Leckhampton Road) all have collection points for your soft plastic packaging

See https://www.midcounties.coop/our-businesses/food/recycling-soft-plastics/ for details.

Some areas of Cheltenham are trialling kerbside recycling of soft plastics. Hopefully this will be rolled out throughout the whole town soon.
