TerraCycle public drop-off points are free to use collection points, to drop off waste for many of our free recycling programs.
Our locations are run by people just like you who want to do their bit for their community! From teachers, to council staff, parents, community organisations, optometrists, your friendly neighbour, and more. Anyone over 18 is welcome to start their own.
We also have retailer partners like MECCA, Sephora and Officeworks, that provide in-store recycling solutions for their hard-to-recycle waste.
• Public drop-off points are a great way to bring your community together to keep waste out of landfills.
• By combining your recycling with your community members, you’ll be able to send in larger shipments that are more efficient to transport, further reducing your carbon footprint.
Plus, location admins receive TerraCycle Recycling Rewards points for each kilogram of eligible rubbish that’s sent for recycling. TerraCycle points can then be redeemed as a monetary donation to a school, nonprofit, or charity of their choice.
First, choose a good spot for your public drop-off point. It should be located in a popular, easily-accessible area (for instance, a library, a community center, a place of worship, or a retail store). Unless you own or manage the location, make sure you have permission to set up the public drop-off point.
You will need to set up a collection box. The location should be open during daytime hours so people can access the collection box. View our guide here on how to get set up.
