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.
How to become a public drop-off point
We’ve made getting started with the Dish and Air Care Free Recycling Programme easy! Simply download a free shipping label to ship your dish and air care packaging to TerraCycle, and we’ll recycle it.
Get Started
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 programmes you would like to participate in.
-
Once you’ve been approved for the programmes 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 a New Zealand Post.
-
Continue to join programmes 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.
Fairy and Ambi Pur sponsor this national recycling programme making it free for you to participate.
Public spaces that have good traffic flow and are easily accessible are excellent public drop-off points. Stores, community centers, places of worship, and libraries are great options.
You choose which TerraCycle free recycling programmes your public drop-off point will participate in. Collectors can drop off only the rubbish accepted in those TerraCycle programmes.
Rewards
Earn TerraCycle points by recycling with us! You can redeem your points in the form of a donation to a school, charity, or nonprofit of your choice. Thanks to the recycling efforts of TerraCyclers like you, we've raised millions globally for schools, charities, and other nonprofits through our recycling programmes. Learn more about TerraCycle Recycling Rewards.
1. Recycle
Request for your public drop-off point to join the Dish and Air Care Free Recycling Programme. Once approved, begin collecting recycling with your community.
2. Earn Rewards
Send in the recycling you’ve collected at your public drop-off point. As the drop-off point administrator, you’ll earn all of the points for your shipments! Shipments earn 2 points per piece of rubbish.
3. Redeem Rewards
Each unit of dish and air care packaging that you send to TerraCycle can be redeemed for a payment of AU$0.02 to the non-profit organisation or school of your choice. There is no minimum shipment weight required to earn points, although we encourage collectors to collect multiple items before sending in their parcel!
Discover Our Recycling Process
Once collected, the dish and air care packaging is cleaned and separated by material type. The fibres and plastics are recycled into raw formats that manufacturers use to make new products.
