Calphalon® Cooking Tools Free Recycling Program

Q: What are the guidelines for shipping my recycling to TerraCycle?

PACKAGING REQUIREMENT FOR SAFE HANDLING OF KNIVES: Please package knives in bubble wrap or cardboard and seal with tape to ensure that knife tips are safely covered. Other metal-based items such as cookware and bakeware do not need to be wrapped. We encourage you to ship when your box is full of metal-based cookware, bakeware, and cutlery to minimize the transportation carbon footprint for this program. UPS will not accept dripping packages, so please make sure your items are dry.
