Send in Mountain House pouches.

Yes, this free recycling program is brand-specific, which means you can only recycle the packaging of this particular brand.

Mountain House has sponsored this free recycling program, so there is no direct cost to you.

No, you do not need to clean the packaging before dropping it off, but please remove as much of the remaining product as possible before shipping.

We encourage you to ship when your box is full of pouches to minimize the transportation carbon footprint for this program. UPS will not accept dripping packages, so please make sure your items are dry.
