ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Recycled Beauty

TerraCycle TerraCycle Canada huggies Nestle Glad London Drugs Garnier Include Canada (English)
Maybe this is a scenario that's happened at your house—an empty shampoo or conditioner bottle that finds its way into the bathroom bin rather than the recycling bin. Or hair dye boxes, makeup packaging, or even used lipstick cases that are tossed in a convenient garbage can. Here's an incentive that might inspire you to save those items and bring them to your local London Drugs Customer Service Counter for recycling—starting this August, 2 cents per beauty package or container you drop off for recycling will go to the Canadian Cancer Society! London Drugs, who has partnered with TerraCycle.ca and Garnier, is the first major retailer in Canada to introduce recycling collection boxes for all beauty packaging! The program fits in perfectly with the London Drugs mandate to divert as much weight as possible —currently over 42 million pounds!— away from landfills. You can read more about the London Drugs recycling program called the Green Deal at greendeal.ca.
