TerraCycle
What is truly zero waste? Most of us recycle what we can–but what about everything else that can’t go into your curbside collection bin?
TerraCycle uses their free collections programs and their unique Zero Waste Boxes to recycle, upcycle, or reuse hard-to-recycle waste from communities across the country–instead of sending it to the incinerator or landfill. By treating trash as a material with true value, TerraCycle is changing our global waste system from a linear one to a more circular one–where things are designed to last for years, then be remade into awesome new products (not sent to the landfill!)
To get started, first pick the type of “trash” in your life you want to tackle. From cigarette butts to candy wrappers and even cleaning supplies, choose where you think the most non-recyclable waste in your life is coming from. Next, pick your size box. Do you live alone, or are you part of a family of 5? Once you get the ideal box for your life, simply start collecting the accepted waste to send back to TerraCycle!
Live the zero waste life of your dreams, without giving up what you love, thanks to TerraCycle.

Jenny –
How many pens do these boxes fit?

EarthHero –
Hi Jenny! It is difficult to determine exactly how many pens will fit in these boxes as it depends on the size and orientation of the pen. We have heard that the medium box can last upwards of 6 months when used in an elementary school. Please feel free to reach out to support@earthhero.com with any further questions!
