Drinks Carton (Tetra Pak) recycling points in Barking

As the information on recyclenow.com is sometimes incorrect, I have done a physical audit of sites near where I live. I can confirm that there are drinks carton recycling points at:

  • Faircross (W side of Upney Lane near Barclays Bank) - recyclenow.com is correct
  • Whiting Avenue, near junction with North Street (near Telephone Exchange). Recyclenow.com does not have this bring site listed at all.

And I can confirm that there is not a drinks carton recycling point in

  • The big Tesco's car park (recyclenow.com does not say there is. but it is way off with its list of materials for this site.)
  • Axe Street (recyclenow.com is wrong. There is no recycling point at all now).
The recyclenow.com info is provided by B&D council. I have e-mailed them to ask them to update it.
