For over 20 years, TerraCycle has been an international leader in sustainability solutions. We’ve developed first-of-their-kind solutions to recycle the unrecyclable—waste streams that aren’t typically curbside recyclable.
We offer free and paid recycling solutions for your unrecyclable rubbish; sometimes, people wonder why some of our offerings are free and others aren’t. Here’s everything you need to know!
How can I recycle with TerraCycle?
- Free recycling programs are sponsored by brands, so you pay nothing to participate.
- Zero Waste Boxes are available for purchase to recycle almost anything.
Learn about the other ways we’re working to eliminate the idea of waste.
How are free recycling programs free?
Our free recycling programs are sponsored by brands and retailers around the world, so you can recycle hard-to-recycle items for free. It’s a way for stakeholders to take voluntary responsibility for this important externality.
Why do Zero Waste Boxes cost money?
Zero Waste Boxes are our paid solution to recycle things you can’t recycle through local curbside services. You can recycle almost any type of rubbish, from coffee capsules to complex beauty waste. The cost of a Zero Waste Box reflects the production of the box; shipping to you and then back to our recycling facilities; and the actual cost of sorting, cleaning, processing, and recycling the box and its contents.
You can pick the perfect box for your needs, making it simple to #RecycleEverything
