GLAD® Food Storage Free Recycling Programme

It’s quite simple to set up and manage a Community Collection Hub, 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 Community Collection Hub.
• Request to join the programmes you would like to participate in.
• Once you’ve been approved for the programmes you requested, set up your Community Collection Hub location. 

Manage: 

• Oversee the location (check it is being used properly, that rubbish is being shipped when collection boxes are filled). 
• When boxes are filled, seal them, download and affix the prepaid labels, and drop off the boxes at a New Zealand Post.
• Continue to join programmes of your choosing.

Promote: Spread awareness about your Hub (as you see fit) to encourage participation.

Allocate: As you accumulate TerraCycle recycling rewards, choose which charities will receive donations from your points.

GLAD sponsors this national recycling programme making it free for you to participate.

Public spaces that have good traffic flow and are easily accessible are excellent Community Collection Hubs. Stores, community centers, places of worship, and libraries are great options.

You choose which TerraCycle free recycling programmes your Community Collection Hub will participate in. Collectors can drop off only the rubbish accepted in those TerraCycle programmes.
