Bring your recycling to a participating drop-off point near you. It's free, and you won't need a TerraCycle account or shipping label.
Simply request to join this programme, and once you are confirmed, your location will show up on the drop-off map. Set up boxes that community members can fill with their rubbish to be recycled, and send full boxes to TerraCycle via InPost or UPS at no cost to you.
Starting and managing a TerraCycle public drop-off point is easy and free! See answers to frequently-asked questions here. Can’t find the answer to your question on this page? Learn more about becoming a drop-off point.
Recycle your personal care product packaging at an existing public drop-off point. Please note that you cannot set up your own drop-off point as there are currently no more spaces available.

It’s easy to set up and manage a drop-off point, and you can recruit a group of friends to help!
Set Up:
Create or update your TerraCycle account profile with details about your drop-off location.
Request to join the programmes of your choice.
Once approved, 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 to ship them to us.
We encourage you to send your box when it is full of accepted waste to minimise the transportation carbon footprint for this programme. Sending your hard-to-recycle rubbish is easy: Simply scan your prepaid QR code when you drop off your box at an InPost locker or print your prepaid shipping label to send your box via UPS. Wet/dripping packages will not be accepted, so please make sure they are dry.
Please follow the steps below to send your waste to us. We recommend the paperless service offered by InPost.

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.
Earn TerraCycle points by recycling with us! You can redeem your points in the form of a donation to a school, charity, or nonprofit of your choice. Thanks to the recycling efforts of TerraCyclers like you, we've raised millions globally for schools, charities, and other nonprofits through our recycling programmes.

Once collected, the air care and home cleaning product packaging is cleaned and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled products.

We believe in taking care of the world around us so want to close the loop on our packaging and with your help, ensure it doesn’t end up in landfills or oceans. That’s why we’ve partnered with award-winning company TerraCycle® to provide a free and simple solution to ensure recycling Burt’s Bees products is easy.
