Processing and Recycling of waste

ACCEPTABLE WASTE

Please send us your discarded single-use Styrofoam/paper/plastic cups, plates, storage containers, and utensils. You may also send straws; wrapping paper, ribbons, bows, tissue paper, napkins, and party supplies such as garlands, noise makers, party favors, punch bowls, balloons, and confetti.

HOW IT WORKS

Please choose the size box you'd like to purchase. When you receive your box fill it with the appropriate waste streams. Once full, bring your box to any UPS location or schedule a collection to ship your items back to TerraCycle using the pre-paid UPS shipping label which is already affixed to your box. When we receive your box, we'll safely recycle all of the collected materials.

PROCESS

The collected waste is mechanically and/or manually separated into fabrics, metals, fibres, and plastics. Fabrics are reused, upcycled or recycled as appropriate. Metals are smelted so they may be recycled. The fibres (such as paper or wood based products) are recycled or composted. The plastics undergo extrusion and pelletisation to be moulded into new recycled plastic products.

UNACCEPTABLE WASTE

Do not include electronic products, food and beverage contents, permanent glassware or flatware. Please note that we will not accept organics, broken glass, bio-medical waste, soiled nappies, expired medication, pesticides, paint, pressurised canisters, and medical sharps in any of our boxes. Please send traditional recyclables through your local council system.
