How it works
Participating is simple and free.

Your shipping label will be emailed to your inbox. Print out your label and tape it securely onto your box then call UPS at 1-800-742-5877 to schedule a next-day pickup.
Get started
Ziploc® flexible plastic bags
Yes, this national recycling program is brand-specific, which means you can only recycle packaging of this particular brand.
No, your shipment can be any weight, but we encourage you to ship when your box is full to minimize the transportation carbon footprint for this program.
No, you do not need to clean the bags before sending them in to TerraCycle, but please empty the bags before shipping. UPS will not accept dripping packages, so make sure your items are dry.
Ziploc® flexible plastic bags will be counted based on an average unit weight of 65.77 grams each.
Discover our recycling process
Once collected, the Ziploc® flexible plastic bags are cleaned and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled products, such as park benches and picnic tables. Click here to learn more about the recycling process.
