Bring your recycling to a participating public drop-off point near you. It's free, and you won't need a TerraCycle account or shipping label.

If you find a location that is no longer active, contact us at customercare@terracycle.com.au.
Simply request to join this program, and once you are confirmed, your location will show up on the public drop-off point map. Set up boxes that community members can fill with their rubbish to be recycled, and send full boxes to TerraCycle at no cost to you.
Starting and managing a TerraCycle public drop-off point is easy and free! See answers to frequently-asked questions here. Can’t find the answer to your question on this page? Learn more about becoming a public drop-off point.
It’s quite simple to set up and manage a public drop-off point, and you can recruit a group of friends to help!
Set Up:
Choose a location and receive permission if needed.
Update a new or existing TerraCycle account profile with details about your public drop-off point.
Request to join the programs you would like to participate in.
Once you’ve been approved for the programs you requested, set up your public drop-off point location.
Manage:
Oversee the location (check it is being used properly, that rubbish is being shipped when collection boxes are filled).
When boxes are filled, seal them, download and affix the prepaid labels, and drop off the boxes at an Australia Post.
Continue to join programs of your choosing.
Promote: Spread awareness about your drop-off point (as you see fit) to encourage participation.
Allocate: As you accumulate TerraCycle recycling rewards, choose which charities will receive donations from your points.
