What to do with your used water-filter cartridges

I wanted to post this message months ago but somehow never did.

People living in hard water areas (like us) usually filter their tap water. We used to have a Kenwood filter, but it was too small and we had to filter the jug twice to cook pasta for two! So we bought a bigger one a few years ago, from the Brita brand.

I am generally not over-concerned about brands but the good thing about the Brita filter, whether linked to fact that it is a German company or not, is that you can send your used cartridges for recycling. And it is a free post address. (in the UK at least).

Here is the return address in the UK:

Brita Recycling
Freepost NAT 17876
Bicester
OX26 4BR

This reminds me we need to pack and send back at least 12 months worth of cartridges...
