Update About Blister Pack Collection at Arnside Chip Shop
Unfortunately, Arnside Chip Shop can no longer collect medical blister packs in aid of Guide Dogs for the Blind, as Morecambe Metals – who were accepting them, had their last load rejected at the smelting plant.
It seems a waste to put them in the general waste, and apparently certain larger branches of Boots will take 5 blister packs per week and will give 100 advantage points. The Boots system seems to be 5 packs that you register via a photo, then, once they’re OK’d, you can drop them off and get your points. However, you can drop as many off as you want though if you don’t want points. Superdrug stores that have a pharmacy in them also take them.
Arnside Chip Shop are still collecting tin foil and aluminium cans in aid of Guide Dogs for The Blind at the Chip Shop.
At other points around the village, there are collecting bins for aluminium cans. The revenue from these goes to the renovations at the W.I. Hall.
