Rather than tossing your used razors in the trash and having them contribute to excessive landfill waste, Gillette is paying for them to be recycled – and they’re encouraging people to get their communities to do it as well. Consumers can now recycle their razors and all of their disposable packaging by shipping the used hygiene products to Terracycle, a US-based company that specializes in recycling items that are generally non-recyclable, such as cigarette butts, light bulbs, batteries, and hazardous waste. Gillette isn’t just partnering with Terracycle to process their own razor brands, either; participants can send in razor-related trash generated by any other rival shaving company – and Gillette will still foot the bill for free.

Furthermore, Terracycle is allowing people to create community recycling outpostsso that organizations, workplaces, school campuses, and neighborhood spaces can collectively package and send their shaving-related trash in one shipment. Once properly cleaned, separated, and processed, the trash can then be used to make new park benches, picnic tables, and other useful community items.
