All listed items are recycled through TerraCycle.

As always, items should be clean, dry, and contain as little product as possible. Often, brand does matter at TerraCycle, so please contact us if you have any questions.

Please sort items into as many categories as possible, to help our volunteers (e.g., sort Kroger brand flexible packaging and other plastic packaging into separate categories).

All accepted items are subject to change. Please be understanding, check back periodically, and feel free to contact us with questions!
