What are the guidelines for shipping my recycling to TerraCycle?

Aerosols must be shipped through the Home Healthcare Aerosol Free Recycling Program; labels from other TerraCycle programs must not be used to ship these items. Other products or packaging cannot be included in the box. Individual aerosol containers cannot exceed one (1) liter in volume. Aerosol containers must be empty and have lids, tops, or caps attached when shipped. Aerosols without lids will not be accepted. Aerosols must be shipped in strong, preferably double-walled, cardboard boxes. Boxes must be in good condition. The maximum weight of a single filled box is 15 pounds. The maximum box dimension is 24 inches x 24 inches x 18 inches.
