Bring your recycling to a participating drop-off point near you. It's free, and you won't need a TerraCycle account or shipping label.
Please note that the content on this page is user generated.
If you find a location that is no longer active, contact us at customercare@terracycle.co.uk.
Simply request to join this programme, and once you are confirmed, your location will show up on the drop-off 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.
Once your location is approved as a drop-off point, community members will be able to find it on the map and drop-off their rubbish to be recycled.
Seal the box, affix the prepaid shipping label, and send it to us to be recycled.
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 drop-off point.
It’s quite simple to set up and manage a 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 drop-off location.
Request to join the programmes you would like to participate in.
Once you’ve been approved for the programmes you requested, set up your drop-off location.
Manage:
Oversee the location (check it is being used properly, that waste 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 a UPS location.
Continue to join programmes of your choosing.
Promote: Spread awareness about your location (as you see fit) to encourage participation.
Allocate: As you accumulate TerraCycle recycling rewards, choose which charities will receive donations from your points.
There are no direct costs to you for running a public drop-off point. Many collectors spend nothing other than their time. You may choose to purchase specific boxes or bins for your drop-off location, but you can also just use extra boxes you have at home.
Public spaces that have good traffic flow and are easily accessible are excellent drop-off points. Stores, community centres, places of worship, and libraries are great options.
No - unfortunately we do not provide collection boxes for this programme.
Request for your drop-off point to join theFerrero Pralines and Kinder Free Recycling Programme. Once approved, begin collecting recycling with your community.
Send in the recycling you’ve collected at your drop-off point. As the drop-off administrator, you’ll earn all of the points for your shipments! Shipments earn 100 points per kilogram. To earn reward points, your shipment must weigh at least 0.1 kilograms.
TerraCycle points can be redeemed for a donation of £0.01 per point. You’ll get to choose which charities or schools to support with the points you earn from your drop-off.
