Our free recycling programs offer solutions for your hard-to-recycle trash. Through these programs, you can recycle different categories of waste, such as home care products, beauty products, food and snack packaging, and more.
Many of our brand sponsors have created free recycling programs for the category. This means you can recycle any brands’ products of that type—beauty products, drink pouches, kids’ clothing, and more—through that single program. So convenient!
Most of our programs are mail-in—you mail us your items for recycling using a free shipping label. However, several programs are part of our network of public drop-off points, and others are only available at select retailers or locations. (These programs are marked with an asterisk in the list below.) Visit the program page to learn more about it and how you can get started.
