Find a TerraCycle drop-off point
Thanks to our dedicated network recycling hard-to-recycle rubbish with us, there are TerraCycle drop-off points throughout the nation to help you recycle more. Just find a location near you, drop off the accepted waste, and the volunteer administrator will send it to TerraCycle for recycling.
Check the map below to discover nearby drop-off locations for waste your local recycling service doesn’t accept, like razors, beauty products, and more.

Start your own drop-off point
Can’t find a TerraCycle drop-off point near you? Your community needs you! Volunteer administrators are what make TerraCycle drop-off points possible. It’s easy and free to start your own. Plus you’ll get all the TerraCycle Recycling Rewards for the rubbish you send in, which you can redeem as a monetary donation to the school, charity, or nonprofit of your choice.
TerraCycle’s recycling process
TerraCycle’s R&D department analyses materials to determine the right way to process them into something new. When a waste shipment arrives at one of our Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), we scan it to record the shipment information, date, weight, and material it contains. Once inspected and sorted by category, the various material types are sent to third-party partners to recycle all accepted waste. Your rubbish becomes new products like outdoor furniture, plastic pellets, tubing for construction applications, playground surface covers, and more! Learn more about TerraCycle’s recycling process.
