Community Recycling

THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO KEEP OUR PLANET CLEAN!!! 

TerraCycle has ruined everything and, after much thought, we are discontinuing our community recycling program. They have discontinued their stationary recycling program as of 5/31/2023 and they are limiting their beauty recycling to specific brands.

While I understand that TerraCycle is a for-profit enterprise, and need partners to help within the parameters of what to offer for “free,” but when their business partners make it impossible for every day, ordinary, sustainably conscious consumers to make the greatest impact with the least amount of effort, I don’t think they are really in this for the right reasons.

There are other community TerraCycle options out there, as well as neighbors sharing their Ridwell subscriptions (might be where I’m heading next…) And I’ll always have the Hennepin County Solid Waste and recycling numbers at the bottom of this page.

Thanks for recycling weird shit with us!!!!
