An Alsager pub has thanked customers for taking part in a campaign for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The Plough Inn in Crewe Road collected plastic sweet and biscuit tubs in January and February as part of Greene King's ' Tub2Pub' campaign.

Now the pub has thanked customers who took part after the brewery giant revealed for the sixth consecutive year a record number of tubs had been collected.

Greene King has revealed it collected almost 295,000 plastic sweet and biscuit tubs in January and February, diverting them from landfill and raising funds for their charity partner, Macmillan Cancer Support.

"This is a great example of community action at its best, with the pub and people at the heart of it. We're so pleased that the proceeds of the sale of 33.74 tonnes of recycled plastic equates to a £10,122 donation for Macmillan.

"Since its launch in 2021, Tub2Pub has collected 88,435kg of plastic – which is around 769,000 tubs, raising £45,369 to date for this incredible charity. Thank you for all your support and all your tubs."
