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 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.

Please note: Only one drop-off location per account per programme is authorised. A minimum distance of 2 miles is required between each drop-off point, unless you are in a heavily populated area. In addition, your public drop-off point must be open for at least 3 hours per week.
It’s quite simple to set up and manage a drop-off point, and you can recruit a group of friends to help!
Set Up:
Manage:
Promote: Spread awareness about your location (as you see fit) to encourage participation.
Allocate: As you accumulate TerraCycle recycling rewards, choose which charities will receive donations from your points.
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.
No - unfortunately we do not provide collection boxes for this programme.

Once collected, the Ueshima Coffee Company aluminium capsules are separated from the coffee pouches and sachets. The coffee pouches and sachets are shredded and melted into plastic pellets that can be remolded into new products. The coffee grounds are removed from the aluminium capsule and sent for composting. Lastly, the aluminium is sent for smelting to produce ingot aluminium sheets that can be used to produce new products like bicycle frames.
