The Best Possible End Use
Electronics:
Reusable electronics are data wiped and refurbished for secondary use.
Electronics beyond repair are stripped and sorted to base materials and then recycled.
Plastic Film:
Plastic films collected through our program first go to a plastic film recycling distributor where materials are cleaned and bailed to be shipped to manufacturers. There the plastic films are typically combined with recycled lumber to produce composite products used as outdoor decking, siding, and furniture
Textiles:
High quality and usable goods are sent to thrifts stores and non profit partners.
Lowest quality is shredded for industrial purposes.
Donations:
Donations are distributed locally to non profit partners and thrift stores.
Additional Recycling Streams (TerraCycle Zero Waste Bag):
TerraCycle partners with numerous organizations to ensure materials are recycled responsibility. For more information: TerraCycle Recycling
