How to become a public drop-off point
Simply request to join this programme, and once you are confirmed, your location will show up on the public drop-off point 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.
Collect with Your Community
Once your location is approved as a public drop-off point, community members will be able to find it on the map and drop-off their rubbish to be recycled.
Print Free Shipping Labels
When a box is full, email pickup.anz@terracycle.com with the weight and dimensions of your box, the email address connected to your TerraCycle account and your best contact number to request a pick up. Please note: pickup requests will be processed on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Ship
TerraCycle will call you to book in a courier pick up on your preferred day. You will be provided with a courier label and a TerraCycle tracking label to affix to your box. A courier will pick up your box of waste and send it off to be recycled.

It’s quite simple to set up and manage a public 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 public drop-off point.
-
Request to join the programmes you would like to participate in.
-
Once you’ve been approved for the programmes you requested, set up your public drop-off point 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 drop-off point (as you see fit) to encourage participation.
Allocate: As you accumulate TerraCycle recycling rewards, choose which charities will receive donations from your points.
Schwarzkopf 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 public drop-off points. Stores, community centers, places of worship, and libraries are great options.
You choose which TerraCycle free recycling programmes your public drop-off point will participate in. Collectors can drop off only the rubbish accepted in those TerraCycle programmes.
This programme has strict shipping guidelines due to the transportation of aerosols. Please read through this check list before shipping your waste.
- Ensure your aerosols are empty (when you press down the nozzle no more product comes out).
- Ensure all aerosols have caps on.
- Use a sturdy box and leave at least 5cm of empty space at the top of the box.
- Ensure your box weighs less than 30kg.
