ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

A Wisconsin dental practice participates in an oral care product recycling program designed to keep toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, floss containers and mouthwash containers out of landfills.

Sponsored by Tom’s of Maine® and TerraCycle®, a company that provides free waste collection programs for hard-to-recycle materials and turns them into green programs, the Tom’s of Maine Natural Care Brigade® provides the practice's patients and the general community with an easy way to recycle oral health products. Toothpaste tubes and caps, toothbrushes, floss containers, mouthwash bottles and caps, deodorant containers and soap packaging, regardless of brand, are accepted.
