TerraCycle is different from your local curbside recycler. They develop recycling solutions for waste streams that are not typically curbside recyclable.

What makes something municipally recyclable depends on whether your local recycling company can make a profit recycling it. If the cost of collecting and processing the waste is lower than the value of the resulting raw material, it will likely be locally recyclable. If the costs are higher, then it likely won’t be.

The good news is that most trash is technically recyclable.

TerraCycle can recycle the hard-to-recycle because they work with brands, retailers, and other stakeholders who fund the recycling process. Learn more about how TerraCycle is working to eliminate the idea of waste.
