Please recycle locally where possible. The product packaging highlighted above may be recyclable through your local curbside service or municipal recycling drop-off locations. If not, you can send to TerraCycle with the rest of your shipment for this program.

Use the interactive map below to search for TerraCycle public locations where you can drop off your recycling. It's free, and you won't need a TerraCycle account or shipping label.
Please note that volunteer administrators (not TerraCycle) manage drop-off points. The administrators choose the location, hours, and accepted waste streams. Please contact the administrator if you have questions about or suggestions for a specific drop-off location.
Let us know if you find a location that is no longer active by emailing us at mapupdates@terracycle.com.
We’ve made getting started as a drop-off point with the Royal Canin Free Recycling Program easy! Simply request to join this program, 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 trash to be recycled, and send full boxes to TerraCycle at no cost to you. Enrollment limits apply. If the program is full, you will be added to a waitlist.
Please note this program is intended for animal and pet supply retailers and veterinary clinics, hospitals, and schools only. If you are an individual recycler, please visit the program page for consumers to search for recycling drop-off locations near 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 drop-off point.
Enrollment limits apply. If the program is full, you will be added to a waitlist.
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 programs you would like to participate in.
Once you’ve been approved for the programs 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 programs 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. Animal and pet supply retailers and veterinary clinics, hospitals, and schools are great options for this program.
You choose which TerraCycle free recycling programs your drop-off point will participate in. Collectors can drop off only the waste accepted in those TerraCycle programs.
Earn TerraCycle points by recycling with us! You can redeem your points in the form of a donation to a school or charity of your choice. Thanks to the recycling efforts of our collectors, we've raised millions globally for schools and charities through our recycling programs.

Once collected, the ROYAL CANIN® and Eukanuba pet food packaging is cleaned and separated by material type. The materials are recycled into raw formats that manufacturers use to make new products. Click here to take a virtual tour of our processing facilities.
