This map is constantly being updated

How it works

Simply request to join this program, and once you are confirmed, your location will show up on the Community Collection Hub map. Set up boxes that community members can fill with their rubbish to be recycled, and send full boxes to TerraCycle at no cost to you.

Collect with Your Community

Once your location is approved as a Community Collection Hub, community members will be able to find it on the map and drop-off their rubbish to be recycled.

Print Free Shipping Labels

When a box is full, sign in to your TerraCycle account to download and print a prepaid shipping label.

Ship

Seal the box, affix the prepaid shipping label, and send it to us to be recycled.

Get Started

Starting and managing a TerraCycle Community Collection Hub is easy and free! See answers to frequently-asked questions here. Can’t find the answer to your question on this page? Learn more about becoming a Community Collection Hub.

It’s quite simple to set up and manage a Community Collection Hub, and you can recruit a group of friends to help!

Set Up:

Choose a location and receive permission if needed.
Update a new or existing TerraCycle account profile with details about your Community Collection Hub.
Request to join the programs you would like to participate in.
Once you’ve been approved for the programs you requested, set up your Community Collection Hub location.

Manage:

Oversee the location (check it is being used properly, that rubbish is being shipped when collection boxes are filled).
When boxes are filled, seal them, download and affix the prepaid labels, and drop off the boxes at an Australia Post.
Continue to join programs of your choosing.

Promote: Spread awareness about your Hub (as you see fit) to encourage participation.

Allocate: As you accumulate TerraCycle recycling rewards, choose which charities will receive donations from your points.

Fairy and Ambi Pur sponsors this national recycling program making it free for you to participate.

Public spaces that have good traffic flow and are easily accessible are excellent Community Collection Hubs. Stores, community centres, places of worship, and libraries are great options.

You choose which TerraCycle free recycling programs your Community Collection Hub will participate in. Collectors can drop off only the rubbish accepted in those TerraCycle programs.

Accepted Waste Poster

No, you do not need to clean the packaging before dropping it off for recycling, but please remove as much of the remaining product as possible before shipping or dropping it off at a Community Collection Hub. Australia Post and Hubs will not accept dripping items, so please make sure your items are dry.

We encourage you to ship once you have a full box to minimise the footprint of this program. Australia Post will not accept packages weighing over 20kg or dripping packages, so please make sure your items are dry.
