How it works

TerraCycle Zero Waste Boxes allow you to recycle almost every type of waste. Simply follow the steps below to recycle your waste with us and make a positive impact on our planet. 

What happens to the waste?

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

Accepted waste

Use this box to recycle any dry soft plastics that can be scrunched into a ball (no rigid plastics). This includes items such as:

  • Biscuit packets (outer wrapper only)
  • Bread bags (without the tie)
  • Bubble wrap
  • Cat and dog food pouches (as clean and dry as possible)
  • Cellophane from bunches of flowers
  • Cereal box liners
  • Chip and cracker packets (silver lined)
  • Confectionery and snack wrappers
  • Frozen food bags
  • Ice cream wrappers
  • Pasta bags
  • Plastic bags
  • Plastic film wrap from grocery items such as toilet paper
