TerraCycle Recycling & Upcycling Programs:
  • Personal Care Products & Office

Ever wonder what to do with certain plastic products and packaging that is not accepted in your single-stream or at your local recycling facility? We have solutions!

We are accepting hard-to-recycle items with TerraCycle to be melted and made into plastic pellets as a building material for park benches, picnic tables, flower pots and planters, and more!
