It’s National Snack Food Month and Americans are reportedly snacking more than ever. While single-serving snacks are all the rage, an unfortunate side effect is that their packaging tends to end up in landfills and incinerators. This National Snack Food Month international recycling leader TerraCycle is asking snackers to put a wrap on throwing away snack and candy wrappers and instead recycle the waste.
Most wrappers are made from a mix of materials like polypropylene, aluminum foil, and paper that are not typically accepted by municipal recycling services. That’s why TerraCycle offers free and paid recycling solutions to keep multi-layer packaging, like chip bags, candy wrappers, and more out of the trash.
“Snack foods wrapped in single-use packaging are popular because they are convenient,” said Tom Szaky, Founder and CEO of TerraCycle. “That’s why we offer a variety of TerraCycle’s recycling solutions to make recycling easy and simple.”

I just found the ultimate list of brands that have recycling programs for hard-to-recycle waste streams, some of which you can’t just leave out at the curb with your newspapers and cereal boxes.
Best of all, it includes clear, simple instructions on how each one works — and it’s free!
How the free recycling programs from TerraCycle works
Terracycle, the recycling program we covered when they launched a program to take back old cutlery and cookware, has evolved a bit over the past years. While the giant zero-waste boxes they offer now start at $105, they know that recycling shouldn’t just be for corporate environments, big apartment buildings, or wealthy households. So now, you can search among nearly 140 brands with individual recycling programs that I guarantee you will recognize.

Vandals repeatedly broke locks on cigarette butt containers along the Ventura beach promenade, sometimes dumping out the carefully stored cigarettes and sometimes stealing the entire container.
Adding to the litter prevention program’s woes, a wrong-way driver exiting the nearby parking garage drove onto the promenade and destroyed a bench made from those recycled cigarette butts. The bench was dedicated to the memory of Paul Herzog, a coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation, which collects from those cigarette containers and mails the butts to TerraCycle for recycling.
Nevertheless, the nonprofit Surfrider Foundation, undaunted, is expanding its cigarette butt collection program, according to Bill Hickman, the foundation’s senior regional manager for Central California, which includes Ventura County.
