Important Collection Restrictions
For the TerraCycle PickUp bags to work effectively and safely, please follow these simple shipping guidelines on how and what you can ship back to TerraCycle:
- Only send in items this system accepts. Sending in items that fall outside the selected category causes contamination and the need for added separation, which increases costs.
- Do not send in household items that may be considered hazardous waste. These include items such as lithium-ion batteries, pressurized canisters, pesticides, oil-based paint or medical sharps, organics, broken glass, biomedical waste, soiled diapers, or expired medication. Do not send in anything sharp, flammable, reactive, corrosive, ignitable, radioactive, toxic, infectious, or pathogenic.
- Please make sure all excess product has been removed before putting it in your TerraCycle PickUp bag. If you choose to rinse your items, please note that the system must be completely dry prior to shipping. Collection bags that have liquid residue will be rejected from collection. Please ignore the above if collecting E-Waste.
