Recycle & Raise ™

Recycle & Raise ™, brought to you by DCW Polymers is a recycling and fundraising initiative introduced to turn plastic into funds for charities!

Running since 2019, we have raised over £13,000 to date and recycled over 7,900kg of plastic waste!

All materials donated to Recycle & Raise appeal are sent to our plastic reprocessing centre in Exeter, where we will shred the plastics and manufacture our own recycled furniture – with 100% of the profits being donated to our two charities!

Our partner organisations will begin accepting your plastic tubs from December 2023 until February 2023, you can find your local drop off point on our interactive map!

Drop-Off Points

It’s so exciting that we have had over 150 joining in supporting the Recycle & Raise appeal, acting as drop-off points for their local community to easily donate their tubs!

We’re looking for businesses, organisations and even local community champions to collect the tubs on our behalf for the 2023/24 collection, you can sign up below!

We’re adding to the list regularly so keep checking back to find one local to you!

So please save us your tubs and donate them by 15th February 2024 so we can help make a difference to these wonderful charities!

What can we recycle to raise money?

  • Confectionery tubs
  • Ice cream tubs
  • Cracker/Biscuit tubs
  • Milk bottle tops
  • Takeaway containers

Look for the number 5 or PP symbol on the container!

How Does It Work?

Please donate your plastic tubs and milk bottle tops to your local drop-off point by 15th February 2024. We’ll collect from them in bulk and weigh the materials as they come in. After that, we’ll shred the plastics in our plastic reprocessing centre, DCW Polymers in Exeter.  Finally, we use the plastics to manufacture our NEW recycled plastic benches – and all of the profit raised will be donated to our charities – Dartmoor Zoo and Life Chance Trust!

Historic Success

Over the past four years we have collected the equivalent of  a staggering 150,000 tubs from the South West, and raised over £13,000 for our charitable causes! This year we are aiming even higher so get saving your tubs and tell your friends and family!
