A LOCAL pub is asking for people’s empty plastic confectionery and cracker tubs to help a cancer charity.

The Chestnut Tree at Barugh Green is supporting the Tub2Pub campaign which raises money for MacMillan Cancer Support.

A spokesperson said: “Make sure your tubs don’t go to waste! Bring your clean, empty plastic confectionery and cracker tubs to the Chestnut Tree between January 1 and February 16 to be recycled. All proceeds from the recycled plastic tubs will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support.

“Over the past five years, Tub2Pub has collected 26,253kg of plastic – that’s around 230,000 tubs – raising £23,908 for our charity partner, Macmillan Cancer Support.
