Big, thank you! Our Tub2Pub campaign has done it again! For the sixth consecutive year, a record number of tubs have been collected thanks to the massive support from all our pub communities. We collected almost 295,000 plastic sweet and biscuit tubs in January and February, diverting them from landfill and raising funds for our charity partner, Macmillan Cancer Support. This is a great example of community action at its best, with the pub and people at the heart of it. We’re so pleased that the proceeds of the sale of 33.74 tonnes of recycled plastic equates to a £10,122 donation for Macmillan 💚 Since its launch in 2021, Tub2Pub has collected 88,435kg of plastic – which is around 769,000 tubs – raising £45,369 to date for this incredible charity. Thank you for all your support and all your tubs!
