It’s easy to set up and manage a 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 drop-off location.
• Request to join the programmes you would like to participate in.
• Once you’ve been approved for the programmes you requested, set up your drop-off location. 

Manage: 

• Oversee the location (check it is being used properly, and that waste is being shipped when collection boxes are filled). 
• When boxes are filled, seal them. You can then send us your parcel via UPS or InPost: 
• For UPS: Request a prepaid shipping label from your account, download it and print it from your email. Please make sure you use a sturdy cardboard box no larger than 60x60x50 cm in size. Simply book a free pick-up by calling 03457 877 877 or book online via this link. You can also drop off your parcel at your closest UPS drop-off point, which you can find here. 
• For InPost: Request an InPost QR code from your account and receive it via email. No need to print it! Simply have it ready on your phone when you drop off your parcel at your nearest 24/7 InPost Locker which you can find here. Please ensure your parcel is no more than 15 kg and 41x38x64 cm in size.
• Continue to join programmes of your choosing.

Promote: Spread awareness about your location to encourage participation.

Allocate: As you accumulate TerraCycle points, choose which charities to donate to!

There are no direct costs to you for running a public drop-off point. Many collectors spend nothing other than their time. You may choose to purchase specific boxes or bins for your drop-off location, but you can also just use extra boxes you have at home.  

Public spaces that have good traffic flow and are easily accessible are excellent drop-off points. Stores, community centers, places of worship, and libraries are great options.

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