Drop off your recycling at a location near you
Use the interactive map below to search for TerraCycle public locations where you can drop off your recycling. It's free, and you won't need a TerraCycle account or shipping label.
Please note the content on this site is user generated. Let us know if you find a location that is no longer active by emailing us at mapupdates@terracycle.com.
How to become a public drop-off point
Simply request to join this program, and once you are confirmed, your location will show up on the drop-off map. Set up boxes that community members can fill with their trash to be recycled, and send full boxes to TerraCycle at no cost to you. Enrollment limits apply. If the program is full, you will be added to a waitlist.
Collect with Your Community
Once your location is approved as a drop-off point, community members will be able to find it on the map and drop-off their trash to be recycled.
Print Free Shipping Labels
When a box is full, sign in to your TerraCycle account to download and print a prepaid shipping label.
Ship
Seal the box, affix the prepaid shipping label, and send it to us to be recycled.

It’s quite simple to set up and manage a 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 drop-off location.
-
Request to join the programs you would like to participate in.
-
Once you’ve been approved for the programs you requested, set up your drop-off location.
Manage:
-
Oversee the location (check it is being used properly, that waste 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 UPS location.
-
Continue to join programs of your choosing.
Promote: Spread awareness about your location (as you see fit) to encourage participation.
Allocate: As you accumulate TerraCycle recycling rewards, choose which charities will receive donations from your points.
There are no direct costs to you for running a public drop-off point. Many collectors spend nothing other than their time. You may choose to purchase specific boxes or bins for your drop-off location, but you can also just use extra boxes you have at home.
Public spaces that have good traffic flow and are easily accessible are excellent drop-off points. Stores, community centers, places of worship, and libraries are great options.
You choose which TerraCycle free recycling programs your drop-off point will participate in. Collectors can drop off only the waste accepted in those TerraCycle programs.
If you wish for your pet charity to be the recipient of a cash donation, make sure you have its Tax ID # handy. Then, follow the steps below:
- Log in to your account.
- Select the “My Impact” tab on your account profile.
- Select “Manage Charities.
- Select “Add new charity."
- Search for your school or charity to see if it already exists in our database.
- If it doesn’t exist, complete the form with your school or charity’s information.
Please note: If you do not enter the correct tax ID number for your school or charity, TerraCycle will be unable to disburse payments. A federal tax ID number will be formatted XX-XXXXXXX. Please be sure that you do not have the state sales tax exempt number.
You do not have to donate your points to a school or charity in order to participate in TerraCycle programs. You can choose to redeem your points towards one of TerraCycle's charitable gifts or you may search through our database of approved charities. You may also redeem your TerraCycle points for TerraCycle products and collection materials.
You do not have to donate to a charitable organization to participate in TerraCycle programs. If you accrue TerraCycle points, but do not actively donate them to your preferred charity, we will redeem them on your behalf to the ASPCA.
