New Jersey PetSmart Stores Introduce Free Recycling Program

It's a new in-store recycling program at PetSmart locations throughout New Jersey where they're teaming up with Terracyle to help cut down on pet product waste.

The pet industry generates millions of pounds of waste in the United States each year, much of which is not accepted by curbside recycling programs, according to the report. 

As part of this new pilot program, you'll find recyclable bins in select New Jersey stores for you to drop off your empty pet food bags.
