Start a TerraCycle drop-off point
You or your group can be a recycling hero for your community! Volunteer to start your own TerraCycle drop-off point to recycle the unrecyclable—trash that’s not typically accepted by local recycling services. We guarantee we recycle all accepted waste!
It’s easy (and free!), and you can make a big difference. Sending larger shipments of hard-to-recycle trash is better for the planet, plus you’ll get rewarded with TerraCycle Recycling Rewards points.
As a TerraCycle drop-off point administrator, you or your group will handle the following:
- Choosing a drop-off location to recycle hard-to-recycle trash for your community members.
- Joining eligible TerraCycle free recycling programs.
- Setting up a collection area and keeping an eye on it.
- Sending hard-to-recycle trash to TerraCycle for recycling. Shipping is prepaid by TerraCycle.
Highlight your location on our map
There are two simple options for starting a TerraCycle public drop-off point: listed or unlisted. One difference between the options is whether or not your location will be included on TerraCycle’s drop-off map. The other difference is the programs you can join.
-
Listed: You can join our official drop-off point free recycling programs and have your location included on our public map.
-
Unlisted: You can join any of our dozens of free recycling programs as an individual. You won’t be included on our public map.
Encourage your community organization to recycle more
Anyone can start a TerraCycle drop-off point, from individuals to schools to businesses to any type of community group. Plus, you can earn money for your school, charity, or nonprofit group through your recycling efforts. Learn more about ways to recycle with TerraCycle for your community.
