Tesco did operate recycling machines in the UK which gave loyalty
points, that can be spent in the store when recycling. By the time I
discovered it they were only doing this for aluminium cans.

They have certainly disappeared at the local stores and been replaced by
more traditional recycling banks. I assume this is the case nationally.
