Aerosol cans or perfume bottles

Wooden makeup pencils

Makeup wipes or cloth face masks
-
Nail polish bottles and nail polish remover bottles

Outer cardboard packaging can be recycled with your local council, so please don’t include this in your shipment to TerraCycle.
Maybelline sponsors this national recycling programme in partnership with Chemist Warehouse making it free and easy for you to participate.
No, you do not need to clean the packaging before dropping it off for recycling, but please remove as much of the remaining product as possible before dropping it off at your nearest Chemist Warehouse store. Stores will not accept dripping items, so please make sure your items are dry.
NOTE: Packaging that has been cut open to remove excess product can still be recycled by TerraCycle.
Discover Our Recycling Process
Once collected, the makeup packaging is cleaned and separated by material type. The fibres and plastics are recycled into raw formats that manufacturers use to make new products.
