What to do with

WATER FILTERS

Water Filters

Water filters cannot be recycled as part of your recycling collection scheme nor at household waste recycling centres. However, if you use a BRITA branded water filter you can recycle the used filters at some  Argos, Sainsbury, Tesco and, Boots and Homebase  stores where boxes are provided for the collection of used cartridges.

Just look for the Brita Recycling logo.

To find your nearest participating store, visit the BRITA website.

For other water filter brands, please contact the manufacturer to find out if they provide a similar service. If the manufacturer is unable to accept them, old filters can be disposed of with your normal rubbish collection or in the landfill container at household waste recycling centres.
