How it works
We’ve made getting recycling with the Kiehl's Free Recycling Program easy! Return your empty Kiehl's products to your nearest participating Kiehl's location for recycling - you'll receive some complimentary goodies in return! Kiehl's will then send the empty packaging to TerraCycle to be recycled.
Get Started
Participating in this program is easy and FREE! See answers to frequently-asked questions here.
All empty Kiehl's-branded products.
This program does not accept:
- Other brands of product packaging
- Packaging still containing lots of product
- Aerosol cans or perfume bottles
- Wooden makeup pencils
- Makeup wipes or cloth face masks
- Nail polish bottles and nail polish remover bottles
- Bags, brushes, makeup sponges, false eyelashes, eyelash curlers and other beauty accessories
Please note that although Kiehl's tester packaging is accepted, only full sized products are eligible for this programs reward offer. Outer cardboard packaging can be recycled with your local council, so please don’t include this in your shipment to TerraCycle.
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 dropping it off at a Kiehl's store. Australia Post will not accept dripping items, so please make sure your items are dry.
Kiehl's sponsors this national recycling program making it free for you to participate.
