Gerber® Free Recycling Program

Click here to learn how to start a public drop-off point. 

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.

It’s EASY to become a drop-off location! Become a drop-off location now by requesting to join on the program page; once confirmed, your organization, store, workplace or home will be listed publicly on our map as a public drop-off location! 

Set up a recycling station in a highly visible area and individuals will be able to drop off their collections with you. You will be able to ship the waste your location collects to TerraCycle for free and earn TerraCycle points for your shipments. 

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.
