  • Terracycle has free recycling options for a number of things that are typically hard to recycle - Bic pens and markers, plastic wrappers from loaves of bread, English muffins, etc., eos products, disposable razors, GoGo squeeze pouches and many more. Organize a collection drive in your neighborhood and help divert more plastic from ending up in landfills!

    1. Check the Terracycle website for the full list of recycling options available (https://www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades) and identify which collection drive you want to organize.

    2. Get the word out that you're collecting these materials during a specific date range - make posters, send emails, post on social media, put flyers in mailboxes.

    3. Set up a collection box in a public space or arrange to make pick ups from your neighbors at the end of your collection drive.

    4. Most of the recycling programs will have you put everything you collect into a box, print out a shipping label from the Terracycle website and mail the materials to the recycler.
