The end of the holiday season signals the perfect time for a household reset to organize and declutter. According to the EPA, American household waste skyrockets by 25% during the holidays1, and the majority of it will end up in landfills or incinerators. International recycling leader TerraCycle encourages Americans to find a better solution for their waste—first reduce or reuse, and then recycle.
"Out with the old and in with the new is an unfortunate mindset of our culture,” said Tom Szaky, Founder and CEO of TerraCycle and Loop. “As you make your New Year’s resolutions to become more sustainable, take advantage of different recycling solutions. First, use your local recycling services, and then for your hard-to-recycle items, check out TerraCycle’s free and paid recycling solutions.”
TerraCycle offers many easy-to-use free and paid solutions to recycle everything—from clothing to electronics and almost everything in between. See below for TerraCycle programs to recycle hard-to-recycle waste that’s not typically accepted by municipal recycling services:
