Residents can now recycle BRITA water filter cartridges at all household waste and recycling centres (HWRCs) across Medway.
On Friday, 7 August, BRITA recycling became available at Capstone, Cuxton and Hoath Way sites.
The programme, which has seen 1,300 units installed across the UK and 1.73million filter cartridges recycled in 2024, gives residents a more sustainable way to dispose of their Brita filters.
For other branded filters, please contact the manufacturer to find recycling locations.
A fantastic addition
Cllr Simon Curry, Portfolio Holder for Climate Change and Strategic Regeneration, said: “This is a fantastic addition to our sites that will reduce both plastic and carbon waste, contributing to a cleaner and greener Medway.
“I would like to encourage Medway residents to make use of this new way to recycle whenever possible, and to thank officers for getting Medway involved with the programme.”
