We love this idea from Macmillan Cancer Support 💚
If you’ve still got any Christmas chocolate tubs lying around, this campaign turns them into support for people living with cancer.

For more information view the information below, or visit the TUB2PUB website: https://www.tub2pub.co.uk/tub2pub/

Have you finished all your Christmas chocolate and sweet treats yet? 🍫

Don’t throw those empty tubs away - Tub2Pub is back for 2026!

Last year, Tub2Pub raised over £10k for us by recycling over 240,000 tubs. With your help, we can beat that record in 2026!

You have until 15th February 2026 to drop off your clean, empty plastic tubs at any participating Greene King Brewery pub, restaurant or hotel, and they’ll help recycle them for you.

The money raised from recycling the plastic helps fund Macmillan’s vital support services. ♻️
