Water filters

Recycle at home

What’s your postcode?

Water filters cannot be recycled as part of your recycling collection nor at Recycling Centres and, if they cannot be recycled via other routes detailed below, then they should be put in the waste bin.
However, if you use a BRITA branded water filter you can recycle used filters in collection boxes at most Sainsbury’s, Robert Dyas and Tesco stores, as well as many other large retailers and independent stores. Some collection boxes will accept any brand of water filter, check in your local area for more information.

Terracycle also offer a recycling scheme for Aqua Optima® water filters.
