This company has been mentioned in deal comments for recyling specific products, but I thought it might be worth starting a specific thread so that more people can be aware of it.
Terracycle offers a range of free programs that you can register for to recycle waste that are not accepted in your normal council recycling stream. These programs are usually funded by companies.
As a consumer, you can register an account, then register for one or more free programs where you can request for free shipping labels on demand and send in your waste via post at no cost to you (except for finding a satchel or box). Some programs are brand specific, but some aren't.
- Brita maxtra filters (Brita only)
- Dish and Air care products - all brands
- Electric toothbrush - all brands
- Oral care (including electronic toothbrush heads - all brands
- Writing instruments - all brands
