How it works
TerraCycle Zero Waste Boxes allow you to recycle almost every type of waste. Simply follow the steps below to recycle your waste with us and make a positive impact on our planet.
What happens to the waste?
The collected waste is mechanically and/or manually separated into the various forms of plastic that make it up. The separated plastics then undergo extrusion and pelletization to be molded into new recycled plastic products.
Accepted waste
Any brand of cosmetic, hair care, or skin care packaging including items such as shampoo bottles and caps, tubes, jars, lotion bottles, make-up and cosmetics packaging.
Please do NOT...
include sharp utensils, nail polish or nail polish remover, aerosols, perfume or hair dye.
We do not accept household hazardous waste such as lithium ion batteries, pressurized canisters, pesticides, paint or medical sharps nor any item that is or has come into contact with anything classified as flammable, reactive, corrosive, ignitable, radioactive, toxic, infectious, or pathogenic.
