Colgate Oral Care Free Recycling Program

You choose which TerraCycle free recycling programs your public drop-off point will participate in. Collectors can drop off only the rubbish accepted in those TerraCycle programs.

Colgate 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 public drop-off points. Stores, community centers, places of worship, and libraries are great options.

It’s quite simple to set up and manage a public drop-off point, 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 public drop-off point.

• Request to join the programs you would like to participate in.

• Once you’ve been approved for the programs you requested, set up your public drop-off point 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 drop-off point (as you see fit) to encourage participation.

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