Recycling in partnership with Newell Brands
TerraCycle® and Newell Brands have partnered to create a national recycling program for all your favorite home fragrance products from Yankee Candle®, WoodWick® and Chesapeake Bay Candle®. Recycle all Newell Brands’ home fragrance products and packaging by dropping them off at a local Yankee Candle® retailer, or recycle from home by joining the program and downloading a free shipping label.
Love our Fragrance. Love our Earth.®
Important!
Please be aware that a change has been made to the minimum shipment weight requirements for this program. Starting February 1, 2021 shipments must be at least 15 pounds to earn TerraCycle points.

How it works
Participating is simple and free.
If there isn’t a local Yankee Candle® store near you, join this program and download a free shipping label to send your collections to TerraCycle.
What you can recycle
All Newell Brands’ home fragrance products from Yankee Candle®, WoodWick®, and Chesapeake Bay Candle®, including: candles, wax melts and melt cups, diffusers and refills, plug-ins and refills, room sprays, fragrance beads, and auto air fresheners and refills.
NOTE: This program only accepts room sprays 1.5 ounces and under. Please do not send in paper or cardboard product packaging that can be recycled curbside.
Best practices for recycling
- Fill your collection box as much as possible before shipping to minimize the transportation carbon footprint for this program. Be sure it is tightly packed.
- Make sure your box is properly taped so that the seams and perimeters are securely sealed.
- You don’t need to clean the packaging before sending it to TerraCycle, but please remove as much of the remaining product as possible UPS will not accept dripping packages, so please make sure your items are dry.
What happens to your recyclables
Once collected, the home fragrance products are cleaned and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled products. Click here to learn more about the recycling process.
Rewards
Shipments in this program must be 15 pounds in order to receive points. For shipments over 15 pounds, 100 points per pound will be awarded.
TerraCycle points can be redeemed for a variety of charitable gifts or a payment of $0.01 per point to the non-profit organization or school of your choice. Each piece of home fragrance product and packaging from any brand you send in will earn you about 115 TerraCycle points. All brands of home fragrance products and packaging will be counted based on an average unit weight of 1.15 pounds.
